Bap speaks out on possible sacking of José Boto at Flamengo | OneFootball

José Boto's Position is 'Shaky' at Flamengo

The backstage of Flamengo has been 'stirred' in recent days following the dismissal of coach Filipe Luís. After all, José Boto's situation is also uncertain at the club. After winning the Carioca title this Sunday (08), President Bap was questioned about a possible departure of the Portuguese, but he 'remained on the fence.'

— A lot of nonsense is said, a lot of lies, a lot of things are invented. I am here today to say that we are hepta-tri-champions. That's what I'm going to talk about. So much nonsense, so much foolishness was said this week. There it is, hepta-tri. May it be the beginning of a great year for us -, said Bap.

Why Might José Boto Leave Flamengo?

The wear and tear of José Boto at Flamengo has been ongoing since last year. There were issues, for example, in the renewal process of Arrascaeta, also in matters involving De La Cruz, and lastly, the way Filipe Luís was dismissed. These and several other points have created a distance between the Portuguese and the squad.

Just as it did with the dismissal of Filipe Luís, which was only carried out after an agreement with Leonardo Jardim, Flamengo will only dismiss Boto after defining his replacement. However, Bap has not yet decided on the next management model, whether with one or two professionals. Thus, the idea is to align a 'soccer-style' with a more executive line.

What is Flamengo's Next Game?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on the next commitment of the season. After the Carioca title, Leonardo Jardim's team returns to the field this Wednesday (11) to face Cruzeiro at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the game between Flamengo and Cruzeiro, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
