Flamengo continue reshaping the squad with an eye on strengthening even further for the 2026 season. In addition to the senior team, the Rubro-Negro are also keeping a close eye on the club’s youth ranks. It’s no surprise, then, that the Mengão board has inquired about the situation of Allan Barcellos, former São Paulo coach.

Allan Barcellos resigned from São Paulo last Wednesday (25) and will officially leave the club from São Paulo on Tuesday (31). Therefore, Flamengo made an initial inquiry about the coach, but have not yet submitted any official offer. Besides Mengão, Palmeiras also want the manager for their youth setup. The information comes from ‘Flazoeiro’.

Why did Allan Barcellos resign from São Paulo?

With a contract running until the end of 2027, Allan Barcellos was upset about an unfulfilled promise of a transition to the senior team, which had been made two seasons ago. As a result, the coach decided to bring his cycle at São Paulo to an end.

What is the situation with Flamengo’s under-20 team?

Flamengo reached yet another Under-20 Libertadores final, but ended up being beaten by Santiago Wanderers on penalties. As a result, the Ninho youngsters missed the chance to win a third straight title in the competition.

In the 19th minute of the second half, Flamengo opened the scoring through Allan Santos. However, Santiago Wanderers equalized in the final moments of the match. So, with the draw, the Under-20 Libertadores final was decided on penalties, and the Chilean side came out on top 5-4.
