Cruzeiro’s coach Tite still hasn’t gotten over his time at Flamengo. That’s because a young fan approached the coach on Saturday (14th) to take a photo, but as soon as Tite saw the fan wearing the Manto Sagrado, he refused the selfie.
“Photo? No, Flamengo no,” Tite says in a video recorded by the Flamengo supporter himself. At the time, the Minas Gerais club was about to face URT in the last round of the Campeonato Mineiro.
Watch the video:
After leaving the Brazilian National Team, Tite took over Flamengo at the end of 2023. However, the coach did not meet expectations. As a result, the fans began to criticize him, and he was eventually dismissed in September 2024.
Amid boos and insults, Tite became a free agent. When his name was rumored at Corinthians, however, he announced he needed a sabbatical to take care of his mental health.
So, the former Flamengo coach returned to work this year. That’s because he is now coaching Cruzeiro, but is already being booed and insulted by part of the Minas Gerais fanbase. He has five losses, five wins, and one draw in ten games with the team at Mineirão.
With Filipe Luís on the sidelines, Flamengo is heading into the first match of the Recopa Sudamericana. Furthermore, this Thursday (19th), the Rubro-Negro will visit Lanús (ARG) at Estadio Néstor Díaz Pérez, starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
So, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Lanús through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
