— A good coach. And I liked one thing: he was hired, showed up, and came to play. I think that deserves respect, regardless of the outcome-, said Marcos Braz, upon arrival at Maracanã.

Did Marcos Braz initiate Filipe Luís's career as a professional coach?

In September 2024, Flamengo dismissed coach Tite after a series of poor results. Thus, Marcos Braz and Rodolfo Landim promoted Filipe Luís to take charge of the main team. Consequently, the coach accepted the offer and, in the first few months, won the Copa do Brasil.

Moreover, even with the change in the presidency, with Bap taking Rodolfo Landim's place, Filipe Luís remained as the coach of Flamengo. However, last Monday (02), the coach was dismissed following runner-up finishes in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Recopa Sul-Americana.

For how long did Leonardo Jardim sign a contract with Flamengo?

Flamengo promptly hired Leonardo Jardim after Filipe Luís's dismissal. Thus, on Wednesday (04), the Portuguese coach signed a two-year contract with Mengão, until December 2027. Now, the coach is preparing the team for the final of the Carioca, against Fluminense.

When do Flamengo and Fluminense face each other?

With Leonardo Jardim's debut on the sidelines, Flamengo faces Fluminense this Sunday (08). The Carioca classic takes place at 6 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the grand final of the State Championship.

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 (open TV), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the final of the Carioca.
