Vasco announce signing of former Flamengo manager | OneFootball

Which former Flamengo player did Vasco hire as a coach?

Vasco was looking for a coach since the dismissal of Fernando Diniz. However, this Tuesday (03), the São Januário team announced the hiring of a new leader. It is Renato Gaúcho.

Renato Gaúcho reached an agreement with Vasco in the early morning and his hiring was finalized early this afternoon. Thus, the coach is already expected this Wednesday (04) to lead the first activity with the new club.

It is important to note that Renato Gaúcho took a different approach regarding the contract with Vasco. This is because, in the negotiation, the coach requested only a one-year contract, that is, until the end of this season.

HAS RENATO GAÚCHO BEEN A COACH FOR FLAMENGO?

Yes! Renato Gaúcho had a stint with Flamengo in 2021. At that time, the coach managed to get the team to perform well in matches, but did not win any titles. The defeat in the 2021 Libertadores by Rubro-Negro to Palmeiras, in fact, led to the coach's dismissal.

DOES FLAMENGO ALREADY HAVE A NEW COACH?

While Vasco finalizes the hiring of Renato Gaúcho, Flamengo is close to having a replacement for Filipe Luís, who was dismissed this Tuesday (03). The strong candidate to take over the red-black team is Leonardo Jardim.

The Portuguese coach is expected to arrive in Rio de Janeiro around 7 PM (Brasília time) this Tuesday (03), at Galeão Airport. The tendency is for Leonardo Jardim to sign a contract with Flamengo until the end of 2027.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

Amidst all this situation, Flamengo returns to the field next Sunday (08) to face Fluminense, for the final of the Carioca. The match kicks off at 6 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
