Tite admitted that he even held talks with West Ham (ENG)

Coach Tite remains without a club after leaving Cruzeiro, even after winning the Campeonato Mineiro title at the beginning of the year. Thus, this Monday (11), the former Flamengo manager revealed that he no longer has high hopes of taking over an international club and mentioned that he even held talks with West Ham (ENG).

— No, I dropped it, I dropped it. Because we also built up very high expectations, and it didn’t happen. In reality, that’s not how it went, it didn’t come up and work out. I spoke with two Premier League clubs at different times —, coach Tite began in an interview with ‘GE’.

— One of them, you mentioned a name (West Ham-ENG), and the other as well. I did the interview, I spoke with them, Matheus and I spoke with them. But in the end, nothing was decided. That’s it now, I’m not going to create bigger expectations —, concluded the former Flamengo coach this Monday (11).

WHAT IS TITE’S SITUATION?

Tite was with Flamengo between October 2023 and September 2024. The coach led the Rubro-Negro side in 70 matches, with 41 wins, 16 losses, and 13 draws. In addition, he won the Campeonato Carioca title.

After coaching Flamengo, Tite spent some time without a club and returned to work in December of last year, when he took over Cruzeiro. However, after just 17 matches, the former Rubro-Negro coach was dismissed due to a below-expected campaign in the Brasileirão.

AND FLAMENGO?

Now managed by Leonardo Jardim, Flamengo is focused on its upcoming challenges. The Rubro-Negro team takes the field this Thursday (14), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Vitória, away from home, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.
