Former Flamengo manager blames Boto for Copa do Brasil exit | OneFootball

Flamengo lost 2-0 to Vitória in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil

For former coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo, Flamengo’s elimination from the Copa do Brasil is on José Boto. The coach accuses the rubro-negro football director of replacing Filipe Luís with Leonardo Jardim, a change that resulted in Thursday’s (14) 2-0 loss to Vitória.

— Boto, show your face now, Boto. Take responsibility, say that you were right to bring Jardim in now. The way you screwed over Filipe Luís, saying the kid only had one way of playing — said Luxa, who added:

— He was getting off to a very good start, he needed someone to help him, not to stab him in the back, like you did. Come out publicly and say that you were to blame for Jardim’s hiring and for the defeat in the Copa do Brasil — he said in a video posted on Instagram.
