Flamengo consider sacking José Boto, begin search for new director | OneFootball

Is José Boto going to be fired by Flamengo?

It's not just Filipe Luís who might leave the "Mais Querido" at the start of the season. Flamengo's president, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, is considering dismissing José Boto. The president has already started exploring the market for potential replacements.

According to information from journalist Pedro Ivo Almeida from ESPN, Bap has spoken with some executives about a possible change in the football management at Flamengo. The goal now is to stop the crisis following Filipe Luís's departure.

What characteristics is Bap looking for in the new football director?

Currently, there are two approaches for hiring. The first is a more 'player-oriented' director, while the second is a more 'executive' manager who can work alongside a professional with greater acceptance in the locker room.

Why hasn't Boto been fired yet?

Additionally, according to the journalist, Boto hasn't been fired because there is no replacement lined up. Bap and his allies do not want to be without a football director during the current crisis at the club.

When is Flamengo's next game?

Amidst internal issues, the Flamengo squad is focusing on the final of the Carioca. The match against Fluminense is scheduled for 6 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (08) at Maracanã, and will be covered by Coluna do Fla.
