Flamengo Undergoes medical Department Restructuring with Tannure’s Departure
The Flamengo football club continues its internal restructuring,with the latest growth being the departure of Márcio Tannure,former manager of health and high performance. the decision was finalized on Saturday, January 4th, during a meeting at the Ninho do Urubu training center.
Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Flamengo’s new president, presided over the meeting that led to Tannure’s dismissal after a lengthy tenure with the club. This move marks another step in Baptista’s broader initiative to standardize operations across all departments within Flamengo.
Replacing tannure is José Luiz Runco, who will assume the role of general medical director. This appointment, confirmed by Coluna do Fla, signifies a shift in the club’s medical leadership structure.
Runco’s responsibilities extend beyond the football team. He will act as a central figure overseeing the medical needs of all Flamengo sports, effectively leading the entire department. This includes recommending trusted professionals to the club’s medical team, encompassing football and other sporting disciplines.
This change follows a series of significant appointments at Flamengo. Prior to the new year, Baptista announced José Boto as the new technical director, who afterward held a press conference on December 30th at the Ninho do Urubu. Additionally, Paulo Dutra has taken on the role of general director.
These strategic appointments and restructuring efforts demonstrate Flamengo’s commitment to a thorough overhaul, aiming to optimize performance and efficiency across all facets of the club.
