Brasileirão: Flamengo's next rivals, Chapecoense axe staff member | OneFootball

Which professional was dismissed by Chapecoense?

Flamengo will only return to the pitch in the Brasileirão on July 22, when they will face Chapecoense away from home. Amid the pause in the Brazilian calendar due to the World Cup, the team from Santa Catarina dismissed assistant coach Celso Rodrigues.

The staff member was let go early this Tuesday (09). However, the reason for Celso Rodrigues’ dismissal has not yet been disclosed. Given the situation, Chapecoense will have to look to the market for options to fill the gap in the coaching staff.

It is important to point out that Chapecoense wrapped up the first half of the 2026 season last Sunday (07), in a thrilling match against Avaí. In the second leg of the Copa Sul Sudeste final, the Chapecó side managed to overturn the first-leg score against their rival with a 3-0 win at Arena Condá, taking the decision to penalties. However, in the shootout, the home team lost the title to the club from Ressacada.

WHAT DOES CHAPECOENSE’S SCHEDULE LOOK LIKE?

After Sunday’s match (07), the Chapecoense squad was given 14 days off. In other words, the players will only return to training on June 24. Once back in action, the squad will go through a kind of mid-season training camp and will face Coritiba in July in a friendly match.

WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO?

Like Chapecoense, Flamengo also gave the players time off. The Mengão squad will report back on June 19 at CT Ninho do Urubu. Finally, before returning to action in the Brasileirão, the Rubro-Negro will hold a mid-season training camp in Portugal.
