Sport in crisis before Flamengo clash in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Sport is without a coach, facing turmoil behind the scenes and close to being relegated to Série B

Flamengo faces Sport this Saturday (01), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 31st round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Unlike the Red and Black, the team from Pernambuco is going through its worst moment of the season, without a coach, in the midst of a political crisis, and close to relegation.

Currently, Sport has only 17 points and sits at the bottom of the Campeonato Brasileiro standings. Thus, the team from Pernambuco is close to being mathematically relegated to the second division of Brazilian football.

POLITICAL CRISIS AT SPORT RECIFE?

At the moment, Sport is also facing internal problems. That’s because president Yuri Romão is the target of protests from fans and criticism from club board members. As a result, part of the Recife supporters are backing the impeachment of the president.

In addition, Sport announced the departure of coach Daniel Paulista, who was the only coach to secure a win with the club in the Campeonato Brasileiro. Therefore, interim coach César Lucena will be responsible for leading the team against Flamengo.

WHEN IS THE MATCH?

Thus, Flamengo, who is fighting for the top spot in the Campeonato Brasileiro, faces Sport this Saturday (01), at Maracanã, at 9:00 p.m. (Brasília time). As usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information from the match directly from the stadium.
