Vitor Pereira is on the verge of leaving Flamengo after losing the Rio de Janeiro league title to Fluminense. Among the candidates for the bench of the Brazilian team is Jorge Sampaoli, but the Portuguese coach (who has also been through Olympiakos) refuses to leave his position and transferred any responsibility to the management of the club.
“I’m not the one who decides, management makes decisions. It’s not me. I came to Flamengo to work, to improve the team, to make it stronger and I am convinced that this is possible“, he said at the press conference after the match.
“We have to admit the superiority of Fluminense, because they won fairly. And, at the same time, we were not at the level we should have been tactically, technically and psychologically. We must work to improve, correct our mistakes and become stronger in the future“, he added.
And he concluded by saying:I am a coach who takes responsibility. But you can’t expect everything from me. I have a good team, players with character, and today they were not at the level they should have been. They were uncoordinated and I don’t know why. Technically it was not a good game from our side, but I will never point to individual mistakes. We failed as a unit and never responded to the game».
