Matonte has previously taken charge of two Flamengo matches. One came in the 2024 group phase, a 4-0 win over Bolívar at the Maracanã.

He also oversaw the 2023 Recopa Sudamericana second leg, when Flamengo beat Independiente del Valle 1-0 to level the aggregate. Flamengo were then beaten 5-4 on penalties and finished runners-up.
