Marcos Braz, Flamengo’s vice president of football, departed for Portugal tonight as the Brazilian club is trying to get a new coach to be hired.
“Did not have [resposta] negative by Jorge Jesus. There are no negotiations. If there were no negotiations, he could not say no, ”the leader said while still in Brazil.
Vice President Mengao also spoke about the constant news about the future of Jorge Jesus: “They have to solve this love and hate for Jorge Jesus, Portugal and Benfica. Flamengo has nothing to do with it. This is a crazy situation. “
Portugal already has Bruno Spindel, Flamengo’s chief executive, who has acknowledged his interest in the return of Benfica’s current coach.
“Of course this is an option. We feel great affection for him, tremendous recognition, gratitude, friendship and trust in him. Of course, ”Spindel said in an exclusive statement to TVI / CNN.
The Brazilian press ensures that Flamengo is interested in other Portuguese coaches – the most frequently mentioned names are Paulo Sousa and Carlos Carvalyala – but Marcos Braz ensures that the decision will be easy.
