Dorival Jr is no more technical Ceará and will reinforce the Flamengo. The red-black carioca, who has not yet officially announced the departure of Paulo Sousa, settled all the details with the coach and already has a replacement for the Portuguese. According to information from the website “Globo Esporte”, the coach was the first option of the board to command the club in 2022.

Flamengo was not satisfied with the work of Paulo Sousa and, after the defeat to Red Bull Bragantino, the red-blacks from Rio de Janeiro decided to fire the Portuguese. Therefore, Dorival Jr, who had 100% of profit in the Copa Sudamericana and comes with an evolving job in Ceará, will leave Vôzão and will take charge of the Rio team.

Check details of Paulo Sousa’s departure!

O Flamengo already decided and there’s no turning back: Paulo Sousa is no longer the coach of the Rubro-Negro team. However, he remains at the Rio club, as the lack of a replacement is what is preventing his resignation from being official. According to information from the website “GE”, the board chose not to continue with the technician’s work, but is running into difficulties.

The publication highlights that Paulo Sousa will not resign because of the R$ 7.7 million termination fine and, because of that, the Flamengo would be evaluating an immediate exit or staying with the commander until a new name is defined. It is worth remembering that if the decision takes place this Thursday, the 9th, or on Saturday, the 11th, the amount to be paid to the Portuguese does not change.

During the press conference after the defeat to Bragantino, the coach opened the game about the criticism he suffers and also in relation to the pressure in office. According to him, there are things that are not possible to control, but he still believes in a possible resumption of strength for the Carioca team in the national competition.

There are things I can’t control, and those are the ones I spend the least energy on. I try to work with the guys the best way I know how to try to be competitive and win games. Therefore, everything that is commented and written, with all due respect, is something I cannot control. Hence my focus is exclusively on analyzing my rivals, clearly passing on our rivals’ behavior to our team and making decisions to win games.“, he stated.
