Bruno Spindel was Flamengo’s director until the middle of this year

Bruno Spindel left Flamengo this season, but he continues to comment on Mengo amid Bap’s new administration. This Wednesday (08), the former director revealed that he recommended the signings of Gabriel Jesus, Yuri Alberto, Vitor Roque, Cucho Hernández, and Luis Suárez.

— After the election, I suggested names to strengthen the attack (Gabriel Jesus, Yuri Alberto, Vitor Roque, Cucho Hernández, and Luis Suárez) and warned about contracts nearing their end, such as those of Pulgar, Varela, Cleiton, Matheus Cunha, and about other contracts like those of Gerson, Arrascaeta, and Pedro —, Bruno Spindel began.

WHAT’S THE CONTEXT?

Luiz Eduardo Baptista became the new president of Flamengo after winning the elections against Rodrigo Dunshee, who was the incumbent candidate. Thus, Bap took over the presidency of the red-and-black team on the first day of the year.

At the time, Spindel, who was still Flamengo’s director, recommended the signings of Gabriel Jesus, from Arsenal (ENG), Yuri Alberto, from Corinthians, and Vitor Roque, who was at Barcelona (ESP). In addition, he mentioned Cucho, who played in the MLS, and the Colombian Suárez.

WHO JOINED FLAMENGO?

Despite the high-profile names recommended by Bruno Spindel, Flamengo went to the market in January and signed another player: Juninho. The center forward was acquired for 5 million euros (R$ 31 million at the exchange rate at the time).
