The former Brazil coach gets back on track with the Rio de Janeiro club

Flamengo have appointed Tite as their new head-coach on a 1-year contract, which ties the manager with the club until 2024.

The former Brazil coach will bring his team of experts that worked under his wing during his 6-year spell at the national team.

The 62-year-old, who has been out of job since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, will make his debut for his new club on October 19, when Flamengo faces Cruzeiro in a Brazilian championship game.

Tite inherits Jorge Sampaoli, who was fired after failing to deliver a trophy for the club. The Argentinian lasted only 6 months and the Rio da Janeiro will certainly be looking for a long-term replacement in Tite.

The 62-year-old does have a rich experience in the Brazil League as led Corinthians to a maiden Copa Libertadores title and a Club World Cup crown against Chelsea in 2012.

As things stand Flamengo sits 5th in the Brazilian championship with 44 points from 26 matches, 11 behind leader Botafogo.
