The rout in the Carioca Championship final and the loss of yet another title were too much for Flamengo. The club decided to fire coach Victor Pereira. The announcement was made on Tuesday (11).
Last Sunday (9), the red-black team was defeated by 4-1 by Fluminense in the state decision and the players left the field booed.
The Argentine Jorge Sampaoli and the Portuguese Jorge Jesus are the most likely to assume the position.
Flamengo entered the field to decide the Carioca title with an advantage after winning the first leg by 2-0, but the weak performance alarmed the directors. They spent last Monday (10) discussing the best way to change the command of the professional squad.
The state was the fourth tournament that Flamengo was not champion under the command of Victor Pereira. The team had lost the Supercopa do Brasil, the Recopa Sudamericana and lost in the semifinal of the World Cup. The pressure on the coach had already increased last week, when he decided to choose a reserve team for the debut in the Libertadores, against Aucas (EQU), and lost by 2-1.
In total, Victor Pereira led Flamengo for 21 matches. Won 12, drew twice and lost seven times. He had been signed at the end of last year, after claiming that he could not stay at Corinthians because of a family illness.
