Allan Barcellos draws Flamengo’s attention

Flamengo continues reshaping its squad with the aim of strengthening even further for the 2026 season. In addition to the senior team, the Rubro-Negro is also keeping an eye on the club’s youth ranks. It’s no surprise, then, that the Mengão board has inquired about the situation of Allan Barcellos, former São Paulo coach.

Allan Barcellos resigned from São Paulo last Wednesday (25) and will officially leave the club on Tuesday (31). Therefore, Flamengo made an initial approach for the coach, but has not yet submitted any official offer. Besides Mengão, Palmeiras also wants to bring him in for its youth setup. The information comes from ‘Flazoeiro’.

Why did Allan Barcellos resign from São Paulo?

With a contract valid until the end of 2027, Allan Barcellos was upset over an unfulfilled promise of a transition to the senior team, which had been made two seasons ago. As a result, the coach decided to end his cycle at São Paulo.

What is the situation with Flamengo’s U-20 team?

Flamengo reached yet another U-20 Libertadores final, but ended up losing to Santiago Wanderers on penalties. As a result, the Ninho graduates missed the chance to win a third straight title in the competition.

In the 19th minute of the second half, Flamengo opened the scoring through Allan Santos. However, Santiago Wanderers equalized in the closing moments of the match. So, after the draw, the U-20 Libertadores final was decided on penalties, and the Chilean side came out on top, 5–4.
