Part 3/6:
The decision to part ways with Tite had already been made prior to the last game. Despite the coaching staff keeping him on until the Sunday match, insiders revealed that the end was near, regardless of the match outcome. Speculation about Tite's position had been swirling for some time, and it became evident following Flamengo's disappointing campaign in the Libertadores.
His resignation officially marked a turning point for a club that has faced persistent challenges in recent seasons. The team’s management, led by Rodolfo Landim, has been criticized for lacking a cohesive long-term strategy, relying instead on trial and error—which directly impacted Tite’s ability to succeed.
