Flamengo resumes coaching mission after Christmas break in Portugal
Flamengo set up a base in Portugal since the 17th and the intense agenda of the rubro-negro summit included meetings with coaches, meetings with agents and many newspaper headlines.
After two days off during the Christmas period, soccer runner-up Marcos Braz and director Bruno Spindel are back at work and try to speed up the issue as much as possible until the return.
The duo is scheduled to return to Rio de Janeiro for Thursday (30) and the exhaustion repeated speech is that the important thing is that there is a new professional on January 10th, the date of the cast’s re-introduction.
At first, the rubro-negro will no longer have any meeting with the candidates and awaits with attention the development of facts, especially in Benfica.
With Jorge Jesus increasingly pressured in the Estádio da Luz, the rubro-negros adopt caution and will not look for Benfica without a clearer sign coming from the side of Lisbon.
On the 30th, the Eagles face rival Porto again, in a game valid for the Portuguese Championship. Four points behind the rival, the reds desperately need the triumph not to see the dream of the cup slip through their fingers.
Last Thursday (23), a team led by the Lord lost 3-0 to FC Porto, a result that made the situation even more delicate for Jesus and also for Rui Costa, president of the club.
A new setback could be decisive for a fall and ease the red-black path. Even if he is not fired, the coach knows that the stumbling block would make the environment impossible and that getting the parties to talk could result in a good deal for everyone involved.
