Filipe Luís or Pivetti: Flamengo unsure who leads vs Vasco | OneFootball

The Decision Will Happen This Tuesday (20th), When Flamengo Has Training at Ninho do Urubu

Initially, Flamengo did not change the plan for the Carioca Championship. However, due to the delicate situation in the tournament, the Most Beloved is considering strengthening the alternative team that faces Vasco on Wednesday (21st).

This brings up the question: who will lead the team in the classic? Bruno Pivetti or Filipe Luís? The truth is that Flamengo will still decide who will be the coach against Vasco in the match this Wednesday (21st) at Maracanã.

Initially, the plan for Flamengo was for Bruno Pivetti to lead the team until the classic against Fluminense on Sunday (25th). However, the return of Filipe Luís this Wednesday (21st) against Vasco is not ruled out.

This is because, depending on the professional players available for the 'Clássico dos Milhões', Filipe Luís will debut in the 2026 season. Remember that the decision will be made during training this Tuesday (20th).

What Time Does Flamengo Train?

In summary, according to the schedule released by Flamengo, the main squad has training on the afternoon of this Tuesday (20th). Thus, the players have activities starting at 4:30 PM (Brasília time) at Ninho do Urubu.

And What Are the Game Details?

Flamengo and Vasco will face off this Wednesday (21st) in a match valid for the third round of the Carioca. The classic takes place starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) and marks the opening of Maracanã in the 2026 season.

What Is Fla's Situation in the Carioca?

Currently, the alert for Flamengo in the Carioca is on. This is because, in three matches played so far, the under-20 red-black team has not won any and has only accumulated one point from a 1-1 draw with Portuguesa.

Thus, Flamengo is at the bottom of Group B in the 2026 Carioca Championship, with only one point. The trend, if the under-20's performance continues below expectations, is that the Red-Black will compete in the 'quadrangular' to avoid relegation in the State Championship.
