Flamengo was not satisfied with the work of Paulo Sousa and, after the defeat to Red Bull Bragantino, the leaders of 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 Vozão to take charge of the team.
Decided! Flamengo made the decision and there is no turning back: Paulo Sousa is no longer the team’s coach. 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.
