Flamengo decides Carioca arguing between Tite and Jesus

Gávea boils, on the eve of the Fla-Flu that will decide this year’s Carioquinha. Despite the advantage of two goals apart, obtained in the first game, last Saturday, there is much more talk about the succession of coach Vitor Pereira than the possibility of winning another State.

Some furry foxes even guarantee that the Portuguese coach’s fate is already sealed and he will be fired with any result.

– The selection of a reserve team in the Libertadores, the bad performance in Quito, the fight with the fans and, above all, the post-match interview, when he said that in his opinion Flamengo had played well were the lime shovels at his funeral! – guarantee me one of them.

I argue that a great victory, with a convincing performance (something that, I agree, seems very unlikely today) might be able to give Pereira survival. But my source insists:

– What is discussed now is the successor. Rodolfo Landim wants it because he wants Tite. He was very impressed with the interaction he had with him at the 2019 Copa América (when Brazil was champion and the top hat rubro-negro was the head of the delegation) and is convinced that the former coach of the Brazilian national team is the ideal name for the remainder of the season.

However, not everyone likes the idea (a good part of Flamengo’s fans hate it) and vice-president Marcos Braz, I am assured, has now started to defend the return of Jorge Jesus! Why did the councilor change his mind, after solemnly snubbing the Mister, during his last visit to Brazil?

For the simple fact of having talked to the leaders of the cast and having realized that this is the group’s preference in case Vitor Pereira is actually fired. In addition, the intense movement of the so-called FlaTT (the various red-black chains on social networks) asking for the return of the 2019 commander has become massive.

The return of Jesus, however, may not be immediate (he has a contract with the Turks until the end of the European season). Just like Tite, in principle, he also said he preferred to wait a little before returning to work at a club in Brazil. From there, news also emerged that the under-20 technical commission was put on alert, in case it has to fulfill an interim period.

Whatever happens, it is undeniable that Flamengo arrives at the dispute for its fourth title of the year (lost the first three) in an absolutely chaotic climate. Checking out the next chapters of this rocambolesque soap opera.
