Adenor Leonardo Bacchi:  Former Brazil national team boss Tite has been appointed manager of Flamengo on a deal that runs until December 2024, the Brazilian Serie A club said on late Monday.

The 62-year-old replaces Argentine Jorge Sampaoli, who was sacked late last month after the team's loss to Sao Paulo in the Copa do Brasil final.

"Flamengo have reached an agreement with Tite to lead the first-team squad," read a statement on the club's website. "The coach will start working tomorrow [Tuesday]."
