Seeking a manager, Botafogo line up meeting with ex-Flamengo Tite | OneFootball

Botafogo has been under the interim management of Rodrigo Bellão since the departure of Franclim Carvalho

Botafogo has scheduled a meeting with coach Tite, formerly of Flamengo, for late Monday afternoon (14). During the meeting, the club’s board intends to present its sporting project to the coach, who has emerged as one of the main options being considered for the position.

At the moment, the first team has been under the interim management of Rodrigo Bellão since Franclim Carvalho’s departure. As a result, the Botafogo hierarchy is stepping up its activity in the market to define the new name responsible for leading the team through the rest of the season. The information comes from ESPN.

Available on the market since March, the 65-year-old coach left Cruzeiro after four months in charge. At the time, his departure came due to pressure over poor results at the start of the national championship, although his spell included winning the state title. Announced by the Minas Gerais club in December 2025, the coach managed 17 matches, recording eight wins, three draws, and six defeats before being dismissed.

Tite has had spells with Grêmio, Atlético-MG, Palmeiras, Al Ain (UAE), Internacional, Al Wahda (UAE), and Flamengo. In addition, he led the Brazil national team to the quarterfinals in two World Cups.

However, Corinthians is where Tite’s career features its most significant achievements. With the São Paulo side, he won the Brazilian Championship twice, in addition to lifting the Copa Libertadores, the Club World Cup, and the Recopa Sudamericana.

TITE’S SPELL AT FLAMENGO

Flamengo hired Tite in October 2023 to replace Argentine Jorge Sampaoli. The club’s board defined the arrival of the experienced coach as his first job after leaving the Brazil national team. In charge of the team, he managed 68 matches, earned 41 wins, and won the Campeonato Carioca title.

However, after a run of poor results, including elimination from the Copa Libertadores by Peñarol (URU), Flamengo’s board decided to end Tite’s contract. Shortly afterward, Mengão announced Filipe Luís.
