Renato Gaúcho was fired
Firstly, Renato Gaúcho was fired from Flamengo, and the dream became a nightmare.
See Renato Gaúcho's campaign for Flamengo
The debut was away from home against Defensa y Justicia in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores da América.
The Flamengo team won despite the absences at the time. On July 2021.
Soon after, Flamengo achieved 6 consecutive victories, the fans saw a winning team, which brought to mind something seen with Jorge Jesus.
However, the first defeat came with great force, Renato Gaúcho's Flamengo lost to Internacional 4-0 at Maracanã.
Furthermore, the defeat to Athletico Paranaense in the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil weighed heavily on Renato Gaúcho's account.
Meanwhile, shortly after the defeat, the coach made his position available to the board, who ended up refusing to hand it over at the time.
Soon after, however, Flamengo beat Atlético Mineiro at Maracanã, which gave the coach a new lease of life.
However, the possible “delivery” in the game against Grêmio weighed heavily on the coach’s account, the dream turned into a nightmare.
Then, with the defeat to Palmeiras in the Libertadores final, Renato Gaúcho was fired.
Renato's numbers ahead of Flamengo
The coach managed Flamengo in 37 matches, with 24 wins, 8 draws and just 5 defeats, a performance of 72%.
Every time the titles don't come, the pressure increases and the coach is the person responsible for the results.
Has the Jorge Jesus standard become too high?
Just like Rogério Ceni, coach Renato Gaúcho did not please the red and black fans, the question is is this the JJ standard?
Coach Jorge Jesus did a spectacular job at Flamengo, and no coach has managed to repeat that standard.
Is it just the Portuguese's ability, or have the opponents improved or learned Flamengo's way of playing?
Who will replace Renato Gaúcho?
According to the opinion of most commentators and fans, coach Renato Gaúcho is the best we have.
At least until before working at Flamengo, so I don't believe in Brazilian coaches in charge of Flamengo.
There is the dream of Jorge Jesus returning, who will be free from his contract in the middle of 2022. But until then, Flamengo needs someone.
Finally, we have Renato Gaúcho on the market again, and Flamengo is looking for a coach, let's wait and see what comes next.
