Flamengo take stance on Luis Castro’s chance to replace Tite

Tite will remain Flamengo coach until the end of the 2024 season.

Luis Castro left Al Nassr under Cristiano Ronaldo and is a free agent. The Portuguese has been linked with a move to Flamengo in 2025. However, Robero Negro has denied that the coach has received any inquiries to take over next season.

See the official note from Flamengo:

“The Regatas do Flamengo Club is appalled by the attitude of journalist Diogo Dantas from Jornal o Globo. He then publishes false articles concerning the professionals of the institution, clearly devoid of any kind of critical sense and with freedom from the bosses.

Incredibly, he repeated this pattern just hours after an official memo was issued addressing another one of his daily fake news stories and without any kind of warning in a related vehicle.

We clarify that coach Luis Castro has never spoken with any Rubro Negro coach, and that the topic of “change of coaches for 2025” is on the agenda. Such a scenario does not exist, and again disrespects all the professionals and families involved in the daily life of the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo.

We warn our fans to avoid using vehicles responsible for false articles on a daily basis. We support freedom of the press, but we cannot tolerate the lack of commitment to the truth and targeted attacks promoted by journalists.
Finally, we regret that Jornal o Globo, a traditional media outlet that already has many good responsible journalists in important positions, today has a professional who fails to tell the truth every day and does not suffer any kind of consequences. He said.

understand the issue

Flamengo issued the official note after O Globo reported that there were already talks about who would succeed Tite in the 2025 season, and according to the newspaper, Luis Castro has become one of the most quoted names, mainly due to president Rodolfo Landim. However, according to Roberto Negro himself, the club has no interest in signing the Portuguese at the moment.

Tite should not be around in 2025

It is worth noting that Tite signed a contract with Flamengo until December of this year. In other words, the coach still has a little less than four months at the helm of Rubro Negro. The trend is not to renew with the club for the 2025 season, as the candidates for the presidency of Mes Querido are not interested in the coach staying.

Rubro Negro faces on Thursday (26) Peñarol (Uru), at 7 pm (Brasilia time), in Montevideo, Uruguay. Therefore, Fila column The most popular red and black streams are on YouTube.
