Leonardo Jardim is very close to being announced as the newest coach of Flamengo. Already thinking about the project ahead of the Rubro-Negro, the Portuguese coach will arrive with four reinforcements.
According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, Leonardo Jardim will have his own staff. Thus, the Portuguese will have António Vieira, José Barros, and Diogo Dias as assistants. The new physical trainer is still being chosen between the coach and the Flamengo management.
It is important to note that the technical staff of Flamengo underwent a 'clean-up' with the dismissal of Filipe Luís. Along with the former coach, Ivan Palanco and Diogo Linhares also left. Finally, Rodrigo Caio, who was an employee of the club, requested to leave after the departure of the former left-back.
Yes! Leonardo Jardim had been in Brazil for a few days, more precisely in Minas Gerais, where he was attending to personal matters. However, after reaching an agreement with Flamengo, the Portuguese headed to Rio de Janeiro.
The arrival of Leonardo Jardim in the 'Marvelous City' took place around 7 PM (Brasília time) this Tuesday (03), at Galeão Airport. However, the first contact between the coach and the press did not happen, as the professional exited through an alternative door.
With Leonardo Jardim on the verge of being announced, the Flamengo squad has an important commitment in the 2026 season. On Sunday (08), Mengão faces Fluminense, in the first leg of the Carioca final.
The match kicks off at 6 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will provide details of the match on YouTube, as well as on social media. Finally, Rede Globo (open channel), SporTV (cable), Premiere (pay-per-view), and GETV (YouTube) will broadcast the match.
