Vítor Pereira had stints with Flamengo and Corinthians in Brazilian football

Current Wolverhampton (ENG) coach, Vítor Pereira was in charge of Corinthians and Flamengo in Brazilian football. Despite a good campaign with the São Paulo team, the Portuguese coach did not 'win over' the red-black fans. The coach even vented about his journey in Brazilian clubs.

— (My time in Brazil was) a life experience. We always change. If I had a crystal ball to know the future, I would change something in my life. What I felt I should do, decisions I should make, I made -, he said, before concluding:

— And they are part of life and our growth. I think we grow a lot in moments when we are under pressure, when we suffer. I had beautiful moments in Brazil and moments when I suffered. It's part of football –, concluded Vítor Pereira, in an interview with 'ESPN'.

What was Vítor Pereira's journey at Flamengo like?
