President of Fluminense praises Diniz, and says he does not release him for selection

High in Brazilian football for some time now, the coach of Fluminense, Fernando Diniz, won its first top-level title this week, with the Guanabara Cup. Thus, in response to questions from “Globo Esporte”, the president of the club, Mario Bittencourt demonstrated his satisfaction with the work, and answered about the possibility of releasing him to the Brazilian National Team.

“I am very happy with Fernando Diniz’s first victory at Fluminense. Out of all of us, he is without a doubt the one who deserved the most because he is a brilliant coach and a great human being. We built a solid project around his work, with a contract until the end of 2024 and the possibility of an extension until the end of 2025” said Mario.

Next, the subject selection was proposed. Without a coach for the main men’s team, the CBF is still looking for a coach, and Diniz has been rumored for a few months. Even so, the president of Flu promised not to release him if the entity’s contact arrives, unless the termination fine is paid.

“We love and respect the Brazilian team, but obviously Fluminense’s project of victories and conquests is ahead of anything in the world. Nothing will make us move away from that, unless the CBF or the coach himself wants to pay the full contract fine, and then Fluminense has nothing to do. But release for the sake of release, there’s no chance“, completed the representative making it clear that there had been no contact until then.

Thus, the tendency is for Diniz to continue his work at least until the end of the season with Fluminense, where he will have the Copa do Brasil, Brasileiro and Libertadores dispute, in addition to the Carioca knockout. The next appointment will be against the round roundno date set, for the state semifinal.
