Flamengo set date and time for Leonardo Jardim’s unveiling | OneFootball

Leonardo Jardim will give his first interview as Flamengo's coach

It's official now! Leonardo Jardim is the new coach of Flamengo. The Venezuelan with Portuguese citizenship was announced on Wednesday night (04). His first press conference will take place on Thursday (05), starting at 11 am (Brasília time), broadcast by Coluna do Fla, at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center.

Leonardo Jardim signed a contract until the end of 2027. On Wednesday (04), the coach already took to the field and led the first activity with the full group, aiming for the final of the Campeonato Carioca, which takes place this Sunday (08), against Fluminense, at Maracanã.

SO, WHAT WAS LEONARDO JARDIM'S LAST JOB?

The new coach of Flamengo had been without a team since December of last year, when he decided not to stay at Cruzeiro. At the Minas Gerais club, Jardim finished third in the Brasileirão, was eliminated in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil (losing to the champion Corinthians), and was eliminated in the first phase of the Copa Sudamericana – it's worth noting that Fernando Diniz started the competition and 'handed over' the team in a delicate situation in the tournament.

Jardim's greatest achievement in his career happened in 2016/17, when he won the French Championship with Monaco (FRA). In the team, the coach revealed Kylian Mbappé, world champion with France and star of Real Madrid, Spain. In the group, Jorge, former Flamengo player, also had the opportunity to work with the Portuguese coach.

WHEN WILL LEONARDO JARDIM'S DEBUT BE, AFTER ALL?

Jardim will play his first game starting at 6 pm (Brasília time), in the final of the Campeonato Carioca. Thus, Coluna do Fla will, of course, be at Maracanã to follow all the excitement of the grand final. Additionally, Globo, for almost all of Brazil, SporTV, on a subscription channel, and Premiere, via pay-per-view, will broadcast the classic. There is also coverage on YouTube, with GETV.
