Responsible for football Flemishwhich won four titles in 2025, including the CONMEBOL Libertadores and the BrasileirãoJosé Boto should not stay in Rio de Janeiro for long. This is what the director said in an interview with Canal 11from Portugal.
In the excerpt published by the vehicle this Friday (26), Boto was asked about returning to his home country. Sincerely, he admitted that the project in Brazil should not have longevity, idealizing a return to the Old Continent in 2027.
“I think I (stay) another year in Brazil and then I’ll think about returning to Portugal, to Europe in a project that suits me,” said Boto, who has a contract with Flamengo until the end of 2026.
Still in the interview, the Portuguese highlighted the victorious season at the helm of Flamengo in his first year in Brazilian football.
“It was perfect to win the Libertadores and Brasileirão, it’s something that’s not normal, it only happened two or three times,” said Boto.
