Everton Ribeiro: Rogério Ceni has improved hugely since Flamengo | OneFootball

Rogério Ceni was Flamengo’s coach between 2020 and 2021

One of the main names in the history of Flamengo, Everton Ribeiro left the club in January 2024. Thus, the player transferred to Bahia and reunited with an ‘old acquaintance’ from his Mengão days: Rogério Ceni. After winning the Copa do Nordeste, claimed last Saturday (06), the midfielder recalled his time at Fla and highlighted the coach’s evolution.

— I believe that Rogério (Ceni) has been updating himself, he’s been changing a lot in the way he deals with the group as well. I see a big difference from what he was like at Flamengo. His desire to win hasn’t changed, the daily demands are even greater, he wants to make history at Bahia too, but today he already understands the players’ day-to-day a bit better — he said, before concluding:

— He can spot from afar the player who’s more upset and not playing, so sometimes he comes over and says a consoling word that lifts the player’s spirits again. He manages this very well and gives opportunities to everyone, which I think is the most important thing — Everton Ribeiro concluded, during his appearance on ‘Fechamento SporTV’.

What was Rogério Ceni’s journey at Flamengo like?

Rogério Ceni agreed to become Flamengo’s coach in November 2020, after o Mais Querido dismissed coach Domènec Torrent. Thus, the current Bahia manager led the red-and-black team in 50 matches, with 29 wins, nine draws, and 12 losses, achieving a 64% success rate. In addition, the former goalkeeper won a Brazilian Championship, a Carioca title, and a Supercopa do Brasil.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo continues to take advantage of the FIFA break to prepare for the upcoming fixtures of the season. O Mais Querido returns to the pitch next Sunday (14) to face Juventude, at 4pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão.
