During a recent interview, at the red-black idol's own home, Zico opened up about the future. There is always a lot of expectation to hear about the plans of Flamengo's great idol. When asked if he would return to his coaching career, Arthur Antunes Coimbra was sincere and did not shy away from the answer, in a chat with the Coluna do Fla portal.
"I don't intend to (return to being a coach). I made a promise to myself that I would only work abroad. It gets very tiring and I'm not old enough to be away. In the life of a coach, when you think you're going to make a Nice work, with a certain amount of time, football doesn't allow that, because it only depends on the result. I received a lifetime offer from Kashima (Antlers, Japan), to be an advisor, work with sponsors, youth teams, fans. So, I preferred to stay at it, without worrying about results", said Zico.
Zico's first job as a coach was in 2001, when he took over the team at Centro de Formação Zico (CFZ). Afterwards, the Flamengo idol accumulated spells in Japanese, Turkish, Uzbek, Russian, Greek, Iraqi, Qatari and Indian football. Therefore, the former number 10 never took over a significant Brazilian club.
"Here in Brazil, I have some television projects [...], I have my channel, I speak all over Brazil. It's no longer possible to take over my coaching career. It took ten years of work, with good results. That's it. Yes (of being officially retired from coaching). It's not my desire to be a football coach", added Zico.
< Zico gives up his coaching career and is currently part of the Kashima Antlers (JAP) advisory team. This is because the ‘red-black god’ is also treated as an idol in the Japanese club, where he played and revolutionized the sport between 1991 and 1994.The future will tell whether this decision was the right one or not.

Flamengo will not have a direct financial return if the young talent Vinicius Jr, trained in the club's youth categories, wins the prestigious Ballon d'Or award. This decision was revealed by Venê Casagrande in a recent publication.
In the transaction that took Vinicius Jr from Flamengo to Real Madrid, the red-and-black club chose not to insert a clause that would guarantee financial compensation in the event of for the player to win the title of Best in the World. The transfer involved an impressive sum, approximately 45 million euros, but the absence of this specific clause drew attention.
The choice of Flamengo's failure to include such a clause in the transfer contract can be seen as a bet on the player's ability and also as a different financial strategy than usual. While some negotiations between clubs often include provisions that guarantee an additional return in case of individual player success, Flamengo opted for a different approach in this case.
Vinicius Jr, since his transfer to Real Madrid, has been closely followed by scouts and football fans around the world. His career has been marked by moments of brilliance and rising expectations. With the absence of this clause, the Rio club is giving up a potential financial reward if the player reaches the top of world football.
The news certainly raises questions about the strategy of Flamengo in negotiations future and how the club approaches the potential of its young talents. The decision to forgo direct financial compensation may indicate a change of focus towards the development of players within the club itself, rather than an exclusive concern with financial returns on transfers.
Given this scenario, Flamengo finds itself at a crossroads

Coach Tite is in the spotlight once again, but this time it's not because of the results on the field. What has drawn attention is the astronomical value of the fine in the event of his dismissal. According to sources close to the negotiation, Flamengocould pay around R$15.5 million if it decides to terminate the contract with the coach.
This exorbitant amount represents a kind of "insurance" to guarantee the Tite's stay at the head of the team. However, this figure also raises questions about the club's financial policy and resource management. At a time when Brazilian football is facing significant economic challenges, such as reduced revenue due to the pandemic, spending such an amount on a possible dismissal could generate controversy.
In addition to the technician's fine, there are other costs to consider. If Tite and his assistants are dismissed, Flamengo will have to pay the equivalent of their salaries until December 2024. This means that, in addition to the termination fine, the club would need to pay a considerable amount to honor contractual commitments. p>
Another detail that cannot go unnoticed are the labor rights of the members of the technical committee. According to current legislation, Flamengo would also be responsible for paying the 13th salary and vacations of these professionals. This adds another layer of costs to the eventual dismissal of Tite and his team.
Amid speculation and debate about Tite's future in charge of Flamengo, fans are divided. While some believe that investment in the coach is necessary to achieve the club's objectives, others question whether this amount could not be better used in other areas, such as reinforcements for the squad or investments in the base.
