Tuesday was a busy one and all the football info about Flamengo’s new pro, Palmeiras’ buff and more is all here on Torcedores.com!
Flamengo may hire the Portuguese to clean up the house
At great risk of being sacked, Paulo Souza could say goodbye to Flamengo against Red Bull Bragantino. In this context, the board, in case of withdrawal, will formulate a radical change in the football department. According to journalist Bruno Andrade, the name José Boto is gaining momentum behind the scenes to take on the role of Marcos Braz’s right-hand man.
During his career, the 56-year-old Portuguese, who is currently the director of football for PAOK, has worked as head scout for Benfica and Shakhtar Donetsk. Thus, he could offer contracts and act as the main intermediary between the director and the cast, a role that is vacant in Flamengo.
According to journalist Vene Casagrande, José Boto was offered through Brazilian businessmen. So given the situation with Paulo Souza, Flamengo tends to analyze more pros as Rodolfo Landim has sanctioned a search for a replacement for the current coach.
“Many players understand that the methodology will not work, and the board has already understood this. At a meeting of the Football Council, Rodolfo Landim made it clear that the (directors) of football were authorized to map the market and look for possible names. It was also said at that meeting that José Boto was offered to Flamengo through Brazilian intermediaries,” he said on his YouTube channel.
Palmeiras player on the mend as fans react: ‘Come back soon’
After a draw with Atlético MG last weekend, Palmeiras returned to the Football Academy on Tuesday (7th) and began preparations for the match against Botafogo scheduled for Thursday at Allianz Parque.
Low due to a knee injury, linebacker Jailson has been working separately and is still fully recovering to return in the second half. On social networks, the Palestinian team posted a photo of a footballer doing physical activity, and fans expressed their desire to briefly return the steering wheel rented by Palmeiras this season.
Luan could leave Corinthians
Bahia could look to recruit Corinthians-backed attacking midfielder Luan if the sale to Gruppo City goes through. The player will be one of the first acquisitions of the club’s new stage. Corinthians should release the player in the middle of the year
Some names are considered as possible targets for the Rooster. One of them is 23-year-old striker Thomas Cankalay, who plays for Racing. However, the Argentine club denied the speculation.
