New Flamengo coach

Get to know Flamengo's new coach beforehand. Paulo Sousa is chosen to replace Renato Gaúcho in charge of the team.

Was in the Polish national team

Initially, the coach had taken over the Polish national team in January, and less than a year later he said goodbye to Poland.

His work came into question after being eliminated in the first phase of the European Championship. And he will leave without guaranteeing a place for the Qatar Cup.

The farewell takes place three months before the decisive game against Russia in the playoff, which could guarantee a place in the World Cup.

Expectations are high about Portuguese

Above all, expectations are high about Flamengo's new coach.

Those who have worked with him believe that he will repeat Jorge Jesus' success.

Mainly due to characteristics that are reminiscent of Jorge Jesus, such as, for example, he blocks him when he loses the ball, trying to recover it while still attacking.

As well as starting to create plays when you are still in the defensive field, and enjoy having offensive possession of the ball.

Results ahead of Poland dishearten

However, at the head of the Polish team, his results left something to be desired. In addition to having behaved unethically upon his departure.

The 51-year-old coach agreed with Flamengo before negotiating the termination of his contract with the Polish national team.

This greatly displeased the Polish confederation and also local journalists, who understood that the coach lacked ethics.

Every time a coach arrives, we look for his numbers, like that with Paulo Sousa.

After 15 games the coach managed only 6 victories, against the weakest opponents in Europe.

Under his command the team beat Albania, Andorra and San Marino, with two victories over these opponents.

He also had draws and defeats, being disqualified and finishing last in his group in the European Championship.

See what his start as a coach was like

After starting his career as an assistant to Carlos Queiroz in the Portuguese national team, in 2008 he had three jobs in the English second division.

He then went on to obtain his first titles with the Videoton team, winning the Hunara League cup (2011/2012) and twice winning the Hungarian Super Cup in 2011 and 2012.

In all his work, on only two occasions did he obtain 60%.

At Maccabi. Tel Aviv (63% triumph and the title of Israeli champion in 2013/2014).

And at Basel (62% and Swiss champion the following season).

Now, these results don't bring much hope to fans, especially when compared to Jorge Jesus' results.

Finally, the fans expect good performance and good results. Let's hope that with a great cast he does an excellent job.
