Of the four members of the coaching staff who will not continue with Flamengo, the Spaniard Ivan Palanko was the last to speak out. This Wednesday (04), Filipe Luís's assistant joked that the coach made him a Flamengo fan and that he even became almost a carioca.

“Thank you to everyone who believed and accompanied us on this wonderful journey. I return home half a carioca, with my blood test completely Flamengo red and black (Filipe's fault) and the certainty of having lived an experience and shared a unique locker room, one that marks you forever,” Ivan began.
“Fortunately, I also carry in my suitcase the immense joy of knowing that our effort and dedication contributed, in some way, to making the history of this immense club a little bit greater. Life passes and changes very quickly, but the memory of what is done with the heart does not fade, it remains forever. Flamengo, Filipe, players, staff, and fans, thank you for everything,” he added.
The greatest full-back in Flamengo history, Maestro Junior commented on Palanko's post. “Ivan, rest assured that your time here, Filipe Luís, and company will always be remembered as one of the greatest in the club's history. Congratulations, and the doors, I believe, will remain open for a return.”
On the other hand, Arrascaeta, a member of the current squad, said: “you are exceptional, dear Ivancito. We will miss you.” In the post, Palanko shared two photos: one of the Libertadores title celebration still on the field in Lima and one at Ninho do Urubu, alongside Filipe Luís.
In summary, in the early hours of Tuesday (03), Flamengo announced the dismissals of Palanko, Filipe Luís (coach), and Diogo Linhares (physical trainer). Additionally, Rodrigo Caio, who was part of the permanent staff, requested to leave the club. The three posted their farewells the day before.
