If they aim for opposite goals in the Brazilian Championship, Botafogo and Flamengo face at 5:00 p.m. this Saturday in Nilton Santos with a common situation: after recent changes in their commands, the rivals seek to sign Eduardo Barroca and Rogério Ceni to the sequence of the season.
+ Crisis de Bota and Fla transform the classic into decision
Chair dancing was a common problem faced by rivals in 2020. In Botafogo, the situation is worse as the team reached its fifth commander with the announcement of Eduardo Barroca last week. Flamengo, on the other hand, is looking for stability after the departure of Jorge Jesús and has Rogério Ceni as the third coach of the year.

Five technicians in less than a year
Botafogo started the season with Alberto Valentim, fired even before the end of the Guanabara Cup. The coach did not get to face Flamengo for the State.
The two classics against the red-black rival were in charge of Paulo Autuori, a professional who led the club for eight months. Period that is even considered the second longest of a technician in the three years of the mandate of the president Nelson Mufarrej.

With the poor results at Brasileirão and the wear between club and coach, Paulo Autuori left Botafogo on the first day of October. It was then that Botafogo got complicated with the changes in the technical command. Just over two months after Autuori’s departure, the team has already been made up of four different professionals.
Indeed, Bruno Lazaroni remained in office for 27 days until he was fired. In search of a substitute, Botafogo chose to leave goalkeeping coach Flávio Tênius as interim until the definition for the hiring of Ramón Díaz, who failed to lead the team.
While recovering from an operation, the Argentine left the mission with his son and assistant Emiliano Díaz. After three defeats in three games, Botafogo no longer wanted to wait for the coach and decided on a new change.
The ball is Eduardo Barroca, who, in the first week of training, tested positive for Covid-19 and will not be on the edge of the field against Flamengo. Assistant Felipe Lucena leads the group.

Three classics, three technicians
Once an oasis of stability in Brazilian soccer, Flamengo has lived a different time since Jorge Jesús left. In these almost five months without the Portuguese, the club accumulates two eliminations (Copa do Brasil and Libertadores) and tries to restructure on and off the field.
With Jesús, Flamengo faced Botafogo and won easily in the Carioca Championship: 3 to 0. They were other times, even before the coronavirus pandemic. With the Portuguese, the team did not lose this season and won 16 of 18 games, mostly for the Carioca Championship. Without him, there were 32 matches and a drop in performance, which reached 58.3%.

Domènec Torrent caught Botafogo at the beginning of his work, which is still hotly contested. The 1-1 draw came in the final minutes, on a penalty taken by Gabigol. Now, with the third coach of the season, Rogério Ceni, the rojinegro team will play the third and last classic against the Alvinegro rival.
Character in both games, the jersey 9 will hardly be on the field of play in the classic. He still trains separately from the team due to a muscle imbalance. Rogério Ceni, third red-black coach of the year, will have to bet on Bruno Henrique and Pedro in the attack.
