São Paulo appoint Libertadores-winning Flamengo coach | OneFootball

Which former Flamengo coach signed a contract with São Paulo?

São Paulo did not waste much time and has already secured the signing of a new head coach after dismissing Roger Machado. It is Dorival Júnior, champion of the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil with Flamengo in 2022.

Dorival Júnior agreed to take a pay cut to sign with São Paulo. Therefore, the former Flamengo coach and his staff will receive around R$ 2 million per month. Corinthians, for example, used to pay something around R$ 3 million.

Did Dorival Júnior win the Libertadores with Flamengo?

Dorival Júnior was Flamengo’s coach when the club won the 2022 Libertadores against Athletico-PR. On that occasion, the Rubro-Negro side beat the team from Paraná 1-0, with a goal by Gabigol, in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

Another point worth highlighting is that Dorival Júnior also won another major title in 2022: the Copa do Brasil. Flamengo beat Corinthians on penalties at the Maracanã and lifted the national tournament trophy in front of the red-and-black fans.
