It’s important to highlight that Renato Gaúcho was one of the main coaches of the Super Club World Cup held in the 2025 season. In short, during the competition, the coach managed to take Fluminense to the semifinals of the tournament.

IS RENATO GAÚCHO THE NEW COACH OF VASCO?

Yes! Renato Gaúcho will lead Vasco for the rest of the season. The coach’s contract with the “cruzmaltino” team is valid until the end of 2026. It’s worth noting that the contract does not include a penalty clause. In other words, if either party decides to end the agreement before the scheduled date, there is no fee to be paid.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE A NEW COACH?

Just like Vasco, Flamengo also has a new coach. On Wednesday (04), the Rubro-Negro announced the arrival of Leonardo Jardim as head coach. The official presentation of the Portuguese coach at Mengo will take place this Thursday (05), at CT Ninho do Urubu.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

With Leonardo Jardim, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (08) to face Fluminense in the final of the Carioca. In short, the match kicks off at 6:00 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will provide detailed coverage of the match with the most “rubro-negra” coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
