Ex-Flamengo star hopes to succeed Filipe Luís as manager soon | OneFootball

Héctor Canteros wore the Flamengo jersey for about two years

Filipe Luís continues to make history as the coach of Flamengo. Despite the success of the commander, an old acquaintance of the rubro-negra fans is 'dreaming' of occupying the coach's role. This is Héctor Canteros, a midfielder who defended the Mengão between 2014 and 2016.

— Soon I want to be a coach, I like it a lot. I'm studying to be a coach or a football director. It would be a dream to coach Flamengo. Who knows, in a few years I might return to Maracanã as a coach -, he said, before concluding:

— Filipe Luís does an excellent job, has experience. He played what he played, knows what the locker room is like, knows how to handle players of the level. This is the Flamengo that the fans always wanted to see and put pressure on us 10 years ago -, concluded Canteros, in an interview with 'ESPN'.

What was Canteros' journey at Flamengo like?

Flamengo confirmed the signing of Canteros in July 2014. At the time, the Most Beloved disbursed 2.2 million dollars (R$ 4.8 million at the exchange rate of the time) to Vélez Sarsfield. Thus, the Argentine officially bid farewell to the Mengão at the end of 2018.

With the Flamengo shirt, Canteros played in 88 games, scoring five goals and providing seven assists. However, the Argentine did not win titles at Mengão, as the Most Beloved was still in the process of restructuring at the time.

What is Flamengo's next game?

While Canteros continues to follow as a fan, Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (25) to face Estudiantes (ARG). The match takes place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, for the return of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.

Thus, as tradition dictates, the Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through the YouTube, the website and the social networks. However, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) broadcast the game of Flamengo x Estudiantes.
