Rogério Ceni will have the company of his three squires in the challenge of directing Flamengo. Assistants Charles Hembert and Nelson Simões Júnior and physical trainer Danilo Augusto, who have been with Ceni since the beginning of his coaching career, are the trusted men of the new red-black commander.

Ceni will make his debut with Flamengo this Wednesday, against São Paulo, in the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup. In Fortaleza, he and his trio won the Serie B of the Brazilian Championship, the Northeast Cup and the second championship in Ceará.
Meet the committee members:
Charles Hembert – assistant
The assistant is French and had experience in the Cameroon team during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, but only met Rogério Ceni during the 2016 Copa América, when he provided logistics services for the Brazilian team. At the time, Ceni was a punctual assistant to Coach Dunga.
They then took the English football federation course together and visited various clubs in Europe. The association continued when Ceni began his career as a coach in São Paulo and continued in Fortaleza, Cruzeiro and now in Flamengo.
Charles Hembert speaks Portuguese well and helps Rogério in games and in conducting training sessions on a daily basis. High intensity activities with reduced time are the preferred activities.
A striking feature of the Frenchman is the explosive temper at the edge of the field. For complaints, he was expelled five times in the last Brazilian.

Nelson Simões Júnior – assistant
The only one who was not present on Rogério’s first day in Flamengo, but they know each other well. Nelson and Ceni were teammates in São Paulo and won, for example, the 1994 Conmebol title.
The former defender hung up his boots after a run with smaller clubs in Brazil and returned to work in the youth ranks. When Ceni became a coach, he invited him to join his commission.
Nelson Simões will join Rogério in Flamengo after helping interim Marconne Montenegro in Fortaleza’s game against Bahia on Wednesday.

Danilo Augusto – physical trainer
The coach knows Rogério Ceni well, since he was still a São Paulo goalkeeper and they worked together. When he became a coach, Ceni invited Danilo Augusto to join his commission.
Danilo is known not only for his work as a fitness coach, but for his role in motivating the cast. On wheels before entering the field, he sometimes even uses objects (such as books, mirrors …) as triggers to try to encourage the athletes even more.
