In the early hours of Saturday (29) to Sunday (30), Fluminense announced the dismissal of coach Mano Menezes. The decision by the tricolor board came just hours after the team's debut in the 2025 Brasileirão, when they lost 2-0 to Fortaleza at Arena Castelão.

According to the report by the channel Premiere, which broadcasted the match, Mano Menezes had a heated argument with Thiago Silva. Additionally, the coach substituted Kevin Serna just 13 minutes into the game.

"Fluminense FC announces that Mano Menezes is no longer in charge of the team's technical command. Assistants Sidnei Lobo and Thiago Kosloski, as well as physical trainer Flávio Oliveira, are also leaving the club. The club thanks the professionals for all the dedication shown throughout their work and wishes them success in their future careers. Permanent assistant coach Marcão will take over on an interim basis and will lead the team in the match against Once Caldas next Tuesday (01/03) in Colombia, for the first round of the Conmebol Sudamericana."

More information coming soon.
