Sport pick their manager for Flamengo clash in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

César Lucena will be Sport's interim coach against Flamengo on Saturday (01)

The Sport club announced the dismissal of coach Daniel Paulista this week, before the game against Flamengo in Rio de Janeiro. Thus, the Pernambuco team decided that interim César Lucena will lead the team against Mengão.

This is because Sport is still searching for a new coach for the final stretch of the Brazilian Championship. Additionally, the Recife team is looking for a name to start planning for the next season in the Série B of the Brazilian Championship.

While the management searches for a new leader, the squad is already set to travel to Rio de Janeiro. César Lucena will have the task of leading Sport against Flamengo at Maracanã on Saturday (01), for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship.

AND WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO?

Flamengo, on the other hand, returned to Rio de Janeiro this Thursday (30), after qualifying for the final of the Copa Libertadores. The red-black team drew 0-0 with Racing (ARG) and advanced to the final, where they will face Palmeiras or LDU (EQU).

However, Flamengo will not have many days to celebrate their spot in the Libertadores final. This is because the team led by Filipe Luís remains focused on the race for the Brazilian Championship title, in which they are one point behind Palmeiras, the leader with 62 points.

WHEN IS THE GAME?

With an eye on the leadership of the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo will face the bottom-ranked Sport on Saturday (01) at 9 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the 31st round. Thus, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the match.
