After consecutive unsuccessful results in Flamengo, one of the Brazilian League teams, the roads were separated with coach Vitor Pereira. Flamengo, who started his search immediately, first contacted Jorge Jesus, who was working in Fenerbahçe.
Flamengo management, who did not want to wait for Jesus’ contract in Fenerbahçe to end, brought Sampaoli, who parted ways with Sevilla, to head the team.
In the announcement made by the club, it was stated that Jorge Sampaoli will sit in the coaching chair until 31 December 2024.
