Jair Ventura has a relatively short career as a coach. However, the manager has already earned the label of a regular victim of Flamengo. After all, 2018 was the last time the coach beat Mengão. So, Vitória and Fla face off this Thursday (14) at Barradão.
Eight years ago, Jair Ventura was in charge of Corinthians, who beat Maurício Barbieri’s Most Beloved 2-1. In the next ten matches, Vitória’s current coach lost nine and drew one against the Rubro-Negro.
Flamengo 2 x 1 Vitória – Copa do Brasil 2026 Vitória 1 x 2 Fla – Brasileirão 2026 Fla 4 x 2 Juventude – Brasileirão 2024 Atlético-GO 1 x 2 Fla – Brasileirão 2024 Goiás 1 x 1 Fla – Brasileirão 2022 Fla 1 x 0 Goiás – Brasileirão 2022 Fla 2 x 1 Chapecoense – Brasileirão 2021 Sport 0 x 3 Fla – Brasileirão 2020 Fla 3 x 0 Sport – Brasileirão 2020 Corinthians 0 x 3 Fla – Brasileirão 2018
In other words, Mengão have already thrashed Jair Ventura’s teams at least three times. The coach began his professional touchline career in 2016, when he took over Botafogo on an interim basis, but he has beaten Fla only twice in 19 meetings.
Looking to keep Jair Ventura as a regular victim, Flamengo face Vitória this Thursday (14). Kickoff is set for 9:30 p.m. Brasília time at Barradão, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.
Therefore, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage on the website, YouTube, and other social media platforms. The broadcast of the Copa do Brasil clash, however, will be on Premiere (pay-per-view) and SporTV (subscription channel).
