Flamengo
Coach should take over after the end of the contract with Corinthians and is already making choices behind the scenes of Mais Querido
Even though it hasn’t been officially announced yet, Victor Pereira is already considered the new coach of the Flamengowith only the end of the contract with Corinthians remaining, in the same way as Dorival Júnior, on December 31, 2022. After that date, the board must confirm the hiring and continue to see the plans.
About the coach, Landim has been sincere recently: “I can’t say that we don’t have everything lined up with Vitor Pereira. We (board) were with him, everything is on track, but nothing is signed yet. I’m the one who signs, I can tell you that now there’s nothing signed. Could it be that by the end of the day, after I get back from the game, I have to sign something? You can, but I only say it’s right when it’s signed. And it’s not signed yet“, said the representative to Globo Esporte.
In the same vein, more recently, Braz has not been silent either: “Flamengo never made any contact with Vítor Pereira while he was linked. They said goodbye to the club. Flamengo never entered into this process. After that, Flamengo understood that it could do an analysis to take the coach. That’s what we’re working on, to have him next season. It’s still not right”declared the director in an interview with Wellington Campos.
As “everything is already right”, the gringo starts to place orders internally. This Friday (9), one of VP’s wishes “leaked” and generated repercussions: according to information initially published by the Portuguese newspaper O Jogo, wants Mais Querido to move forward with the hiring of Vitor Vinha, an assistant at Rio Ave, in Portugal.
Luís Freire’s current assistant, the professional is well evaluated in the European country🇧🇷 Currently 36 years old, Vinha was not part of the staff that was at Timão, so it would be a novelty. A former player, the Lusitanian retired in the 2016/2017 European season, becoming an “assistant coach”, but is currently an “assistant head coach”. According to the source, the gringo welcomes this opportunity and can take a plane to Brazil, but has not yet responded officially, as he needs to resolve some personal issues.
