Remo land Flamengo’s trophy architect for promotion push | OneFootball

Marcos Braz, who recently concluded a successful tenure as Flamengo’s vice-president of football, has taken up a new post as executive director at Remo. The announcement was made official by the Paraense club at the end of May, marking a fresh chapter for one of Brazilian football’s more prominent leaders off the pitch.

Braz had already been involved with Remo earlier in the year, when he represented the club at the Copa do Brasil draw in February, citing logistical reasons due to the distance between the CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro and Remo’s base in the North. At the time, it wasn’t clear whether his participation suggested a formal role, but that uncertainty has now ended with the club formalizing his place in their structure.

His move comes after a highly decorated spell at Flamengo between 2019 and 2024, a period in which the Rubro-Negro collected 12 trophies under his leadership. The haul includes two Copa Libertadores titles, several Campeonato Brasileiro trophies, victories in the Copa do Brasil, the Recopa Sudamericana, Supercopa do Brasil, and state successes in the Campeonato Carioca. Braz’s six-year run at Flamengo concluded with the end of President Rodolfo Landim’s administration at the close of 2024.

Remo currently find themselves in a promising position in Série B, sitting third on the table and with potential to climb further as matches unfold. Braz steps into the executive role as the club aims to build on this momentum both on and off the pitch. The timing of his arrival coincides with a period of stability for Remo, who next face a test away to CRB—an opportunity to reinforce their position among the promotion candidates.

Welcoming Braz, Remo emphasized his experience and strategic value, highlighting their intent to bolster long-term planning. The club thanked him publicly and underscored the ambition driving their project.

As Remo seek to leverage the expertise of a leader who oversaw one of the most successful eras in Flamengo’s modern history, expectations will turn to how Braz can translate his achievements in Rio to the realities of the North, where challenges differ but the hunger for progress remains acute.
