Brasileirão side eyeing move for ex-Flamengo director Bruno Spindel | OneFootball

Fired from Flamengo in 2025, Bruno Spindel is targeted by a team relegated to Série B

Let go by Flamengo in August this year, the former red-and-black executive may work for another red-and-black team in 2026. Relegated in the 2025 Brasileirão, Sport dreams of hiring the executive for the position of football executive director.

In the midst of a severe political crisis, Sport recently changed presidents after Yuri Romão asked to step down. The new president, Matheus Souto Maior, had advanced negotiations with Júlio Rondinelli, formerly of Juventude. However, talks took a turn when Internacional made a higher offer, and the deal fell through. Thus, the Pernambuco club shifted their focus to Spindel.

The Sport board has spoken with Spindel but has not yet made an official offer. The Recife team is counting on the executive’s experience and good market relationships to try to build a strong squad with the goal of returning to Série A of the Brasileirão.

WHEN DID BRUNO SPINDEL WORK AT FLAMENGO?

Bruno Spindel joined Flamengo in 2012. However, the executive gained more prominence in 2019, when he became football director under Rodolfo Landim’s administration, forming a duo with then vice-president of football, Marcos Braz. However, in 2025, everything changed.

With Luiz Eduardo Baptista’s victory in the elections, the ‘power’ over Flamengo’s football passed into the hands of the Portuguese José Boto. ‘Without a role’ under the new president, Spindel even stayed at the club for a while, but ended up being fired in August this year.

WHERE IS SPINDEL’S GREAT PARTNER FROM HIS FLAMENGO DAYS?

In his last years at Flamengo, Spindel formed a famous partnership with Marcos Braz. Currently, the former vice-president is at Remo and helped the Pará team gain promotion to the first division of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Despite his success with the team, due to disagreements with the president, Braz’s dismissal is a possibility.
