Flamengo are about to make an important announcement regarding the hiring of Tite as their new coach. After a series of meetings and negotiations between Flamengo’s vice-president of soccer, Marcos Braz, and Tite’s representative, Gilmar Veloz, the club reached an agreement with the experienced coach on important details, such as salary and length of contract.
The negotiations were meticulous and thorough, reflecting Flamengo’s priority of securing Tite as their next coach. Following the departure of Jorge Sampaoli, the club has been working hard to find a suitable successor, and Tite has emerged as a strong candidate for the job. Despite the complexities involved in the negotiations, Flamengo conducted the process with the utmost caution to ensure a successful outcome.
One of the main points of contention in the negotiations was the length of the contract. Initially, Tite had sought a longer-term deal, but Flamengo was limited by the mandate of its current leadership, which ends in December 2024. After constructive discussions, both parties reached an agreement, aligning the term of the contract with the club’s existing schedule.
With all the necessary details sorted out, Flamengo are now in the final stages of formalizing the appointment of Tite as their head coach. The only remaining step is the bureaucratic process, which can’t be sped up in a weekend.
Tite will start his job at Flamengo during FIFA’s international break, which will give him the opportunity to familiarize himself with the team and prepare for the next challenges. As the announcement draws closer, the team’s fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter under the guidance of the experienced and talented coach.
