Flamengo lost 2-1 to Fortaleza this weekend and the coach’s popularity, which was already low, became even more questionable
O Flamengo lost 2-1 to Strength this Sunday, 5th, for the Brasileirão, and the situation of the coach Paulo Sousa got a little complicated. That’s because in the beginning, the commander had full support from the carioca board, but due to the recent results and the 11th position in the classification table, he started to irritate the backstage of the club, who would have lost patience with him.
According to information from the “GE” website, the football vice-president of the Rio de Janeiro club, Marcos Braz patience with the performance of the team under Paulo Sousa has diminished, and for the first time the coach is really threatened in his position, with people still believing that the team will not change much until the end of the first round.

So, this Tuesday, the 7th, the coach travels to the games against Bragantino it’s the International I really need to win. Winning away from home will be essential to give the coach more time in office. However, this has happened before, when the Flamengo picked up four straight wins, reducing the pressure on Paulo Sousa.
With a contract valid until December 2023, the Portuguese coach has a proportional release clause only until the end of the first year. The publication highlights that this value refers to the number of outstanding salaries until the end of 2022. Thus, this value decreases month by month and at the moment would be around R$ 7.7 million.
Obstacles on exit
Despite this, this total is not seen as a problem behind the scenes of the team, but the difficulty in finding a new name to command would be the crucial point that is making Paulo Sousa continue in the position. cuca would be the most obvious name, mainly because he’s no longer totally discarded behind the scenes like at other times.

In addition to this point, another fact that would be weighing on the coach’s permanence is the lack of structure for transition in the football department. with the resignation of Maurício Souza and the output of Fábio Matiasthe club does not have a permanent assistant, and because of that, there is no one to command the team temporarily.
Meeting can change everything
According to information from the ESPN website, a meeting that should take place this afternoon at 16:00 (Brasília time) should define the coach’s future. The publication highlights that the idea is to take stock since the arrival of the commander, but that the chances of a fall at this point are quite high.
