Flamengo face hefty payout to José Boto if director is sacked | OneFootball

José Boto’s Position is ‘Shaky’ at Flamengo

The dismissal of coach Filipe Luís continues to stir up the behind-the-scenes at Flamengo. After the coach’s farewell, José Boto’s situation at the club is also uncertain. However, it’s important to note that if Bap decides to let the Portuguese executive go, the Rubro-Negro will have to pay a hefty severance fee.

According to information from ‘ESPN’, Flamengo will have to pay four salaries to José Boto if they choose to dismiss the executive. Not by chance, president Luiz Eduardo Baptista has already considered possible replacements for the role, such as Fábio Luciano and Edu Gaspar.

Why Might José Boto Leave Flamengo?

José Boto’s wear and tear at Flamengo has been ongoing since last year. There were issues, for example, during the renewal process with Arrascaeta, as well as matters involving De La Cruz and, most recently, the way Filipe Luís was dismissed. These and several other points have created distance between the Portuguese executive and the squad.

Just as was done with Filipe Luís’s dismissal, which only took place after an agreement with Leonardo Jardim, Flamengo will only dismiss Boto after deciding on his replacement. However, Bap has not yet defined what the next management model will be, with one or two professionals. Thus, the idea is to align a ‘player’s manager’ style with a more executive approach.

What is Flamengo’s Next Match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on its next commitment of the season. This Sunday (08), the Rubro-Negro faces Fluminense at 6pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in the grand final of the Campeonato Carioca.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Fluminense through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube),SporTV (cable channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the final of the Carioca.
