Flamengo Bids Farewell to Coach Rosana Augusta


Flamengo has begun a restructuring of the club's women's football. One of the measures was the dismissal of coach Rosana Augusto, following a mutual agreement between the parties. The coach, who was introduced at Palmeiras this Tuesday (21), explained her departure from the Rubro-Negro.

Regarding Flamengo, it was a mutual agreement that we made. Both I and Flamengo understood that it was better, for a career plan I had, because I am very ambitious, to come to Palmeiras. I will stop here because today I am being hired by Palmeiras -, she said, before concluding:

I leave an important legacy for Flamengo, both for the players and the management, but always fighting for the best for women's football. Any situation where I can help, I will help, regardless of the club. For me, the sport is a mission -, concluded Rosana, in a press conference.

Who is the New Coach of Flamengo?

It is worth noting that Flamengo moved in the market and announced the new coach of the women's football team. It is Celso Silva, who was with São Paulo's youth team. The coach has already met the squad and watched Mengão's 9-0 victory over Real Heips last Saturday (18).

Thus, Celso Silva's second stint in women's football at Flamengo begins on Monday (20). This is because the coach was an assistant at Fla in 2015 and remained in the position until 2020. Later, he took over the team permanently, where he stayed until the end of 2021.

Will Flamengo Stop Investing in Women's Football?

Amid Rosana Augusto's dismissal, rumors arose that Mengão would stop investing in women's football. Flamengo's executive, André Rocha, clarified the situation and denied the speculation.

The club released a statement formalizing Rosana's departure, an agreement, a mutual decision, which was, in fact, an adjustment of our project. It is a redefinition of the path to be followed. After this news, it is normal for everyone to say what they want, with various sites posting information that is not true, and what I wanted to make clear to the fans are a few points. The first is that the only departure from Flamengo was that of the coach. Everything else remains the same; we now have five more consecutive classics in the state championship, we have a game against Fluminense next week, then the semifinal and final, and then we go to the United States for an international tournament for the club. Flamengo is the only Brazilian club that will compete in this world tournament, so this international segment is growing within the club, and it is the first time we will participate in this tournament, and our only movement is Rosana's departure. So the fans can rest assured, there is no dismantling at Flamengo, there is none. For the first time, it will be the year we will have fewer changes in the squad; every year, we have had around eight to ten changes in the professional squad from one year to the next, this year we will have a smaller number of changes. So the core of Flamengo's team for the next year is the same, Flamengo remains competitive, and the only change we will make that will impact in the medium term is the change in the budget situation, which people also need to understand, especially the fans, they can rest assured, because the change in management, when we leave the football management, the only thing we do is we start to also take the individual budget of women's football. So, starting next year, women's football will stand on its own, we believe that the sport is growing, we believe that the sport has everything to be strong, and now the time has come for us to have this market confirmation. What changes is that we separate the expenses of women's football from men's football, and we will work with financial independence, and in the market now I am sure that the size of Flamengo's brand will grow, several companies, several partners will appear, interested in promoting the club's women's football, and with this budget, we will restructure the sport once again. It is a short period of readjustment, it is a period of understanding the acceptance of women's football in the market of brands and partners, but we believe a lot in the sport and are sure that this adjustment will happen, this adjustment of own partners for women's football, it will come quickly and this will impact the field as little as possible,” said André Rocha, manager of Flamengo's women's football.
