+ Flamengo contracts for 2022: see who arrives, who stays and who leaves the club

In Portugal, Record newspaper has already taken Paulo Sousa to Flamengo for granted. The coach was the first to meet Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel in Lisbon and captivated the red and black directors, who had already analyzed the name Paulo Sousa, even before contracting with Dom. It aroused international interest recently.

Flamengo went to Portugal with the desire to sign Jorge Jesus. There was a meeting with the coach, but things did not go as expected and the negative repercussions created an additional obstacle. JJ asked not to officially confirm the meeting, which later ended during an interview with assistant João de Deus, to the chagrin of the rubro-negro leaders.

In a conversation with Rui Costa, Benfica president, Jorge Jesus indicated that his idea is to stay at the club, face Porto at 30, and fulfill his contract. This referral had an impact on Flamengo’s decision to look for another alternative, in the case of Paulo Sousa.

The career of Paulo Sousa:

Paulo Sousa is 51 years old and has worked with youth teams in Portugal and later worked as Filipao’s assistant at the 2006 World Cup. For the next two years at Swansea and Leicester.
