Leonardo Jardim to Make His Debut for Flamengo in the Campeonato Carioca Final Against Fluminense

Flamengo officially presented coach Leonardo Jardim this Thursday (05), in a press conference at Ninho do Urubu. The Portuguese manager spoke about the match against Fluminense and the importance of starting his journey with a title.

“I think it’s a great match for a debut. It’s an exciting game, with a rival. Of course, we want to be dominant and win the game,” said Leonardo Jardim during his introductory press conference this Thursday (05).

— There’s an emotional weight. I remember coming to Brazil more than 20 years ago and watching a Fla-Flu at the old Maracanã, with that atmosphere… I recognize the competitiveness of the competition, and our only goal can be to become champions of Rio de Janeiro — concluded the Flamengo coach.
