Ex-Flamengo boss Tite targeted by Brasileirão rival | OneFootball

Tite was at Flamengo between 2023 and 2024

After being dismissed from Cruzeiro this March, coach Tite has become a target for Botafogo for the remainder of the season. The former Flamengo coach is currently a free agent, which would make it easier to reach an agreement with the rival of the red-and-black club.

According to journalist Diogo Dantas, Botafogo added Tite to their list because of his current situation. Since he is not under contract, the General Severiano club sees this as a positive, as there would be no transfer costs involved.

Furthermore, there is some distrust at Botafogo due to the club’s current moment in the season and also regarding the SAF issue. The continuity of coaches at the helm of the club has been a questionable point among professionals.

WHO DOES BOTAFOGO WANT FOR THE POSITION?

In addition to Tite, Botafogo is considering other possibilities, such as Fernando Diniz, Juan Pablo Vojvoda, and Hernán Crespo. However, the representatives of these coaches have denied any contact with the General Severiano club.

DID TITE COACH FLAMENGO?

Tite was at Flamengo between October 2023 and September 2024. During this period, he coached 70 matches, with 41 wins, 13 draws, and 16 losses. In the end, the coach won a Campeonato Carioca title, defeating Fluminense.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION?

The Flamengo team, now with a new coach, Leonardo Jardim, remains focused on recovering this season. The red-and-black team drew 1-1 with Corinthians last Sunday (22), in an away match for the Campeonato Brasileiro.
