The last few days have been highly turbulent at Flamengo, first with the dismissal of Filipe Luís and now with the news emerging about José Boto, the club’s Portuguese technical director, which report some demands from him that have caused enormous discomfort within the Carioca club.
According to the portal "ESPN Brasil", the behavior of the former Benfica Scout Coordinator is not well regarded by most Flamengo employees. From "vain attitudes to little direct communication and even the need to request personal services," there are several cases that have been talked about for all the wrong reasons.
The same source, for example, says that José Boto, "considered rude and inflexible" in the club’s daily routine, "demands that every two weeks Flamengo employees go to his house to perform cleaning and organizing services".
It is also reported that José Boto, 60 years old, has the habit of, whenever the warm-up begins before a match, sitting on the bench and 'demanding' that no one passes in front of him until that period ends, placing two security guards at his side to prevent this from happening.
