The Brazilian Football Association (FNB) has been in the process of selecting a new coach for Flamengo, and one of the most likely candidates is former Santos head coach Ederson Militão.
Militão, who has spent his career with Santos, has experience at both the club's youth academy and senior team levels. He was appointed as Santos' head coach in January 2017, but he struggled to make any significant impact on the team.
However, after several disappointing performances under his previous clubs,Campeonato Brasileiro Action including a 4-0 loss against Internacional in the Copa do Brasil, Militão took a break from football and returned to Brazil to focus on coaching.
In his absence, Flamengo have struggled to find consistent form and have failed to qualify for the Copa Libertadores. However, Militão's return could be seen as a sign of renewed hope for the club.
It remains to be seen whether Militão can turn his coaching skills into success at Flamengo, but his experience and reputation as a successful coach in other leagues could provide valuable insights for the club. The FNB will need to weigh up the pros and cons of choosing him as their next manager and assess the potential benefits and risks involved.
