Botafogo is experiencing a delicate moment both on and off the field this season. The Alvinegro did not dismiss coach Anselmi after a 3-0 defeat to Flamengo, however, the coach will not be available against Palmeiras on Wednesday (18).
This is because Anselmi complained several times to referee Anderson Daronco during the Flamengo vs. Botafogo match. For this reason, the referee warned the coach with a yellow card.
Thus, Anselmi will have to serve an automatic suspension for receiving his third yellow card in the Brasileirão. Therefore, the coach will not be on the sidelines for the game against Palmeiras.
Leonardo Jardim remains undefeated as the coach of Flamengo. The coach has achieved two victories with the Sacred Mantle in the Brasileirão and is seeking a third triumph this Thursday (19) against Remo.
The match between Flamengo and Remo is scheduled for 8 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, with broadcast on Premiere, via pay-per-view. However, Coluna do Fla will be present to provide the most Flamengo-centric coverage on the internet, on YouTube.
