Carioca final: Flamengo’s new manager unbeaten against Fluminense | OneFootball

Leonardo Jardim has experience in Brazilian football before coaching Flamengo

Leonardo Jardim has already been announced at Flamengo, whose next match is a Fla-Flu in the final of the Campeonato Carioca. Despite the pressure, there is a statistic that favors the new rubro-negro coach, who has never lost to Fluminense when he was at Cruzeiro.

This is because the Portuguese coach faced Fluminense twice in 2025. Thus, Cruzeiro won one match and drew the other in the Brasileirão, a tournament in which Leonardo Jardim finished in third place.

What were the scores between Jardim and Fluminense

Therefore, Jardim’s Cruzeiro won at Maracanã, Fluminense’s “home”. On that occasion, the Laranjeiras team was saying goodbye to Jhon Arias in front of 48,000 people at the stadium, which will host the 2026 state final.

When do Flamengo and Fluminense face each other?

With the unbeaten Leonardo Jardim, Flamengo is preparing to face Fluminense this Sunday (08). The Rio derby takes place from 6pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in the single-leg state final.

Thus, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the Fla-Flu through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the final of the Carioca.
