Coach Marcelo Salazar will make his debut in charge of Flamengo this Tuesday (09) in a match valid for the Brasileirão U-20. For the clash against Athletico-PR, at 3 pm (Brasília time), at Gávea, the Rubro-Negro will have some reinforcements who have played for the senior team.
In the last round of the senior Brasileirão, coach Leonardo Jardim had to call up some U-20 players from Flamengo. The call-up happened because the main squad had several absences due to players being away on international duty for the World Cup. As a result, Joshua, Alan Santos, Johnny, among others, were available against Coritiba.
After experiencing that moment, the players returned to the Flamengo U-20 squad. In fact, the expectation is that the players who were with the senior team will start in this afternoon’s match.
WHO IS THE NEW FLAMENGO U-20 COACH?
Besides the returning players, Flamengo will also have Marcelo Salazar making his debut as head coach. The manager arrived last week and had some time to try to implement his working methods. This Tuesday (09) will mark the coach’s kickoff with Mengão.
