After sacking, ex-Flamengo boss keen on new project in the Middle East | OneFootball

What is Tite planning for the next step in his career?

Cruzeiro decided to dismiss coach Tite after a 3-3 draw with Vasco last Sunday (15). While the team from Minas Gerais searches for a new leader in the market, the former coach of Flamengo has already defined his next career step.

According to information from ‘ESPN’, Tite does not wish to take on another team in Brazilian football. Thus, the priority for the former Flamengo coach is to take on a project abroad, especially in the Middle East.

Has Cruzeiro defined its next targets in the market?

Yes! Right after announcing Tite's dismissal, Cruzeiro showed interest in hiring Filipe Luís. However, the former Flamengo coach aims to start projects in Europe. Additionally, Artur Jorge, the current coach of Al Rayyan (CAT), emerges as the 'plan B' for the team from Minas Gerais.

How was Tite's tenure at Flamengo?

Tite joined Flamengo in October 2023 to replace the Argentine Jorge Sampaoli. It was the experienced coach's first job after leaving the Brazilian National Team. Under the technical command of Mengão, there were 68 matches, with 41 victories, and the conquest of the Carioca title.

However, after a series of poor results, including elimination in the Libertadores to Peñarol (URU), Flamengo's management decided to end the contract with Tite. Thus, Filipe Luís, who was the under-20 team coach at the time, was chosen to take on the role in the professional team.

What is Flamengo's next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo continues preparations to face Remo this Thursday (19). The match takes place at 8 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the game between Flamengo and Remo. However, Premiere, in pay-per-view, will broadcast the clash of the seventh round of the Brasileirão.
