Flamengo is close to announcing the signing of Leonardo Jardim as the club's new coach. Before firing Filipe Luís this Tuesday (03), the Rubro-Negro had already been in talks with the Portuguese coach. Thus, Ligue 1 recalled the former Cruzeiro manager's time at Monaco (FRA) and sent a message to Fla.

Through a post on social media, the French Championship's profile shared a photo of Leonardo Jardim wearing a Monaco jacket in red and black, colors that represent Flamengo. In addition, the photo was accompanied by the following caption: “Hello, Nation! Mister already in red and black.”

With the French team, the Portuguese coach led 270 matches, achieving 141 wins, 61 draws, and 68 losses, with a success rate of 59.7%. Furthermore, in 2016/17, the coach won a national championship.

Did Flamengo want to hire Leonardo Jardim?
