Brasileirão side eyeing move for ex-Flamengo director Bruno Spindel | OneFootball

Dismissed from Flamengo in 2025, Bruno Spindel is targeted by a team relegated to Série B

Released from Flamengo in August this year, the former red-and-black executive might work for another red and black team in 2026. Relegated in the Brasileirão 2025, Sport dreams of hiring the executive for the position of executive football director.

In a severe political crisis, Sport recently changed presidents after Yuri Romão requested to leave the position. The new leader, Matheus Souto Maior, had advanced negotiations with Júlio Rondinelli, former Juventude. However, the talks took a turn as Internacional made a higher offer, and the deal will no longer happen. Thus, the team from Pernambuco turned their attention to Spindel.

Sport's management spoke with Spindel but has not yet made an official offer. The Recife team relies on the executive's experience and good market relationships to try to build a strong team with the goal of returning to Série A of the Brasileirão.

WHEN DID BRUNO SPINDEL WORK AT FLAMENGO?

Bruno Spindel joined Flamengo in 2012. However, the executive gained more prominence in 2019 when he became the football director under Rodolfo Landim's management, partnering with then vice-president of football, Marcos Braz. However, in 2025, everything changed.

With Luiz Eduardo Baptista's victory in the elections, the ‘power’ of Flamengo's football passed into the hands of the Portuguese José Boto. ‘Without a role’ under the new president, Spindel remained at the club but ended up being dismissed in August this year.

WHERE IS SPINDEL'S GREAT PARTNER FROM HIS FLAMENGO DAYS?

In his last years at Flamengo, Spindel formed a famous duo with Marcos Braz. Currently, the former vice-president is at Remo and helped the Pará team to rise to the first division of the Brazilian Championship. Despite the team's success, due to disagreements with the president, Braz's dismissal is a possibility.
