Coming back? Marcos Braz reveals friendship with Flamengo president | OneFootball

Rodolfo Landim had Marcos Braz as vice president, who later worked at Remo

Flamengo's political scene is always surprising. This Friday (17), for example, executive Marcos Braz went against the idea that he dislikes the current red-and-black president. Thus, the former Fla vice president said he has a great deal of respect for Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap.

— What people say about it being a holy war, it isn’t. That’s more than proven, because since Bap took over the presidency, the executive has expressed himself much more strongly when criticizing other people than me — highlighted Braz, who added:

— And Bap has always been very respectful. Of course, regarding football, at certain moments the professional has some concepts. A person has to be respected. And I have points of view regarding certain aspects of the sport — he told Charla Podcast.

Why all this politicking, Braz?

The former executive left Remo after securing promotion to Série A. So, now available on the market, Braz did not have his name mentioned in rumors that Rodolfo Landim wants to run again for the red-and-black presidency.

When will Flamengo hold elections?

In 2027, Bap will try for reelection. Braz, however, did not mention any intention to take part, whether as vice president or president. Maurício Gomes de Mattos and Rodolfo Landim are other figures who could run.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

While the political scene heats up, Flamengo returns to the pitch this Sunday (19) to face Bahia. The match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the 12th round of the Brasileirão.

Thus, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the clash between Flamengo and Bahia via YouTube, the website, and social media. The broadcast of the match, however, will be on Premiere (pay-per-view).
