Although Leonardo Jardim has had only a few games in charge of Flamengo, the Portuguese coach knows São Paulo clubs well. That is because, throughout his career, the manager has faced teams from São Paulo 15 times and lost only four. This Thursday (02), he takes on Red Bull Bragantino.
As such, Leonardo Jardim has won six matchups and drawn five. With the Rubro-Negro, the Portuguese coach has only faced Corinthians in a 1-1 draw. Therefore, all the other meetings came while he was at Cruzeiro.
In one year of work on Brazilian soil, the coach has faced Bragantino only twice. Thus, each side has won one match. Therefore, this Thursday’s game (02) could break the tie in the history between the São Paulo team and the coach.
O Mais Querido announced the Portuguese coach on March 5. Since then, Leonardo Jardim has led the Rubro-Negro in five matches, with no defeats and only two draws.
With Leonardo Jardim on the touchline, Flamengo faces Red Bull Bragantino this Thursday (02). The ball starts rolling at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, in the ninth round of the Brasileirão.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Bragantino through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão clash.
