In the troubled scenario of the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, a group of members, including prominent names such as Eduardo Bandeira de Mello, former president of the club, decided to take drastic measures by filing a request with the Deliberative Council. According to Venê Casagrande, The objective of this request is the creation of a provisional commission of inquiry to investigate Rodolfo Landim, current president of Flamengo, for disciplinary infraction related to the payment of contractual fines to coaches. The amount of these fines, according to unofficial sources, reaches an exorbitant R$50 million.

In the document presented, the section that points directly to the partners' concerns regarding the conduct of the current president stands out: " In exercising this responsibility, Mr. President, as is well known and widely reported in the press, fired 6 coaches under contract, having paid heavy fines for 5 of them." This excerpt reinforces the idea that the dismissal of coaches and the fines associated with these dismissals are at the center of the controversy.



Media coverage of this case has been intense, with several reports on the subject. Among them, the articles carried out by CNN and Terra stand out, which shed light on the figures involved in the dismissals of coaches. According to these sources, President Rodolfo Landim would have burdened Flamengo's coffers by approximately R$50 million. However, it is important to highlight that the exact numbers are still unknown, as transparency at the club regarding this topic has been limited.

This episode puts into focus not only Flamengo's finances, but also sports management under the leadership of Rodolfo Landim. The dismissal of six coaches in a short space of time raises questions about the stability of the team's technical command and the criteria adopted for these decisions. Furthermore, the weight of the contractual fines paid by the club draws attention to the financial responsibility of the board.

The lack of transparency in relation to the official numbers of fines and dismissals generates even more uncertainty among members and fans from Flamengo. Many question whether these fines were really necessary and whether they represent a justifiable expense for the club, especially in a period when finances due to the pandemic are already under pressure.


The investigation request filed by the members is a reflection of the climate of dissatisfaction and uncertainty that hangs over Flamengo at the moment. The proposed Provisional Commission of Inquiry has the mission of clarifying the details of this case and determining whether there were irregularities in the conduct of President Rodolfo Landim in relation to the dismissals of coaches and contractual fines.

It is important to highlight that the investigation in question should not only be seen as an internal conflict within the club, but as a reflection of the members' desire to guarantee transparency and responsibility in Flamengo's management. After all, the club is an institution with a passionate fan base and a rich history, and its management must reflect the values ​​and principles that Flamengo represents.

As this investigation unfolds, the world of football will be attentive to its conclusions and the possible repercussions it may have not only for Flamengo, but also for Brazilian sport as a whole. Transparency, financial responsibility and corporate governance are crucial issues that affect not only clubs, but also fan confidence and the integrity of football as a whole.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.

No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.


The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.


Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .

Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.

Flamengo's election has already started and promises to be very competitive. On Monday night (19), Maurício Gomes de Mattos met with important groups and supporters at the Vamo restaurant, at the club's headquarters, in Gávea, at an event for his campaign for the presidency of Mengão. Among them are former presidents Márcio Braga and Eduardo Bandeira de Mello.

Bandeira and Márcio are important part of MGM's campaign and it is expected that their presence will increase the number of voters for the candidate. It is believed, in fact, that the higher-than-expected number of people at this Monday's event is already linked to EBM's official support, revealed a member of the campaign. And a large part of the candidate's opening speech was precisely praising the duo.


“Several authorities came to honor this moment. But I will present Eduardo Bandeira de Mello and Márcio Braga to refer you all. These two mean a lot in my life. I started at Flamengo at the hands of Márcio Braga, and it was President Bandeira who invited me to be general vice-president in his management. He set an example and showed the world what Flamengo is and where it can go. We are going to make Flamengo even better and even bigger”, said MGM, before adding:


“They were my inspiration outside the four lines. On the four lines there were Zico, Adílio, Andrade and so on. I always saw myself in a position to give back to Flamengo the much that Flamengo has always given me and continues to give. This love is the certainty of victory. My first feeling of victory in my life was with a Flamengo goal.”

MGM announced Wellington Silva as general vice-president of its ticket in the Flamengo election. Wellington was vice-president of communications during the flag administration period and has also served as press advisor for the Federal Supreme Court.


Another point that guides Maurício's campaign and was very present at the campaign event was the speech for professionalism in the club. Focusing on football, the candidate states that he intends to reduce the influence of amateur managers in the club's day-to-day activities and only wants professionals making decisions.

“Amateur managers will not enter the locker room, bus or play beach tennis with player. Methodology and collection, this is what we need in all competitions in the life of the club. All paths must lead to professionalism. “

Excited, Márcio Braga explains his support for MGM

President who led the club the most times and among those who won the most important titles, Márcio Braga spoke right after Maurício Gomes. He treated this year's election as the “election of the century” in Flamengo due to the risks that the club runs due to the construction of its own stadium in the way proposed by the Landim management. He got emotional when he talked about not wanting to see Rubro-Negro “get lost”.

“This election is the election of the century. We can't lose at all! What is armed there is very bad. I'm 88 years old. I don't want to die watching Flamengo lose. We run this risk if we don't win the election. The times we are living in are very dangerous. We all want the land and the stadium, but not like this.”

It is worth noting that MGM commissioned an economic-financial feasibility study for the construction of a stadium on the Gasmetro site. He stated that the document shows that it is possible to carry out the work without harming the club's finances in other sectors and intends to follow it if elected.

Bandeira de Mello nudges Bap and Dunshee

Hoping for more support for MGM, Bandeira de Mello also spoke and focused on the differences between Maurício Gomes de Mattos and the other two main candidates at the time: Rodrigo Dunshee and Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap). The former president criticized both, made reference to the attempt to remove him from the electoral race and cited “ethical liabilities” that need to be resolved.

“ Many people speculated that I could be a candidate for president of Flamengo. Many people insisted. But I always said one thing: I have already accomplished my mission. It's time to define someone else who can follow Flamengo's path, but with our principles and values. And of course I couldn't support either of these two candidates that are there, for several reasons.”

“They don't represent anything that Maurício said about professionalism. They are people who are there to persecute others and perhaps for purposes that it is better not to talk about because they are recording. I looked for a candidate who adhered to everything I think and want for Flamengo. Someone who had the courage to face challenges. Courage to pursue the liabilities we have, which are no longer financial, they are ethical. Let's clean up the liabilities that Flamengo has.” Maurício Gomes de Mattos' event was also attended by political groups that declared support: Grap (Grupo Raça Amor e Paixão), Frente Flamengo Maior, Flamengo Sem Fronteiras, Grupo Vitória and Fla Cones Group. In addition to many members of the former SoFla, which no longer exists as a group.

The election to define the next president of Flamengo is scheduled to take place on December 9th, a Monday, at 8am, at Gávea.
