Flamengo still needs to make some decisions about the coach’s future, as he doesn’t have a replacement in sight or an assistant who can cover
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.

Although the carioca club has already made its decision regarding the continuity of the coach in charge of the team, the presence of Paulo Sousa in Porto Alegre is not ruled out, where the team will face the International on Saturday, at 9 pm (Brasília time), for the 11th round of the Brasileirão and with the pressure even higher.
The website also claims that this possibility of the Portuguese continuing with the squad until the end of the week happened because Flamengo chose to spend the week in Atibaia, a city in São Paulo that was designated by the board so that the players could make their moments of preparation. eyeing the clashes against Bragantino and International.
It was even in the match against Bragantino that Paulo Sousa had his chance to redeem himself and try one more chance. However, the 1-0 defeat was set for the directors to choose not to continue with their work. Also, during the 90 minutes it was clear that he still didn’t get the best of the group, not to mention the poor communication in the game.
