Flamengo president said Jesus did not speak to sign for Benfica: ‘He hampered all the work’ – Brazil

Rodolfo Landim, president of Flamengo, confirmed that he is disturbed by the departure of Jorge Jesus in June 2020 to Benfica, accusing the Portuguese coach of not speaking to the team, managers and technical staff. “The way it went, it obviously was. [fiquei chateado]. He committed himself, not only to me, but to the whole group. [jogadores e staff técnico] Staying here at least until the end of 2020. By renewing the contract and then abruptly leaving, he has hampered all preparations for the post-Covid-19 layoff season and the eventual adaptation of a new technician that we will hire him in place, if we know he won’t stay .

Regarding the current situation, with JJ in Brazil in recent days, Landim’s value has plummeted. The head of the Rio de Janeiro slogan emphasized: “I have nothing to say about him coming to Brazil. He lived here, he definitely left friends and it is only natural to come to kill the nostalgia.”
