Leonardo Jardim to Sign Contract with Flamengo for Two Seasons

Flamengo is close to announcing the hiring of Leonardo Jardim, former Cruzeiro coach, to take on the role of head coach. Thus, Coluna do Fla decided to recall the Portuguese coach's main work in his career, leading Monaco (FRA).

Leonardo Jardim was at the helm of Monaco for over five years, from July 2014 to December 2019. During that time, the Portuguese coach managed great names in world football, such as Mbappé, who was 17 at the time, João Moutinho, and Bernardo Silva, currently at Manchester City.

What Were Leonardo Jardim's Numbers at Monaco?

Leonardo Jardim played 270 games at Monaco, achieving 141 wins, 61 draws, and 68 losses, with a success rate of 59.7%. Additionally, in the 2016/17 season, the coach won the Ligue 1 title. Finally, the French team reached the semifinals of the Champions League, being defeated by Juventus (ITA) 4-1.

Did Flamengo Want to Hire Leonardo Jardim?

According to a report by Coluna do Fla, Leonardo Jardim was Flamengo's top priority. The former Cruzeiro coach had already been in talks with the club, even with Filipe Luís in charge. Thus, the Flamengo board announced the dismissal of the coach after receiving the 'yes' from the Portuguese.

Therefore, Leonardo Jardim will sign a contract with Flamengo valid for two years, until December 2027. The coach will lead his first training session as Flamengo's head coach this Wednesday (04), and will also have his first contact with the players.

What Is Flamengo's Next Match?

Leonardo Jardim will have an important mission in his first match with Flamengo. This is because, on Sunday (08), the Rubro-Negro will face Fluminense at 6 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for 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 (open TV), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the final of the Carioca.
