“We speak very often due to the friendship we hold and he told me, 'if you feel ready don't pass up this opportunity',” Torrent, who worked with Guardiola for a decade as part of his backroom staff at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City before stepping out as a coach in his own right in 2018, told reporters when asked if he had contacted his mentor prior to accepting the Flamengo job. Luckily for Domenec Torrent, he can boast none other than Pep Guardiola as his long-time friend and confidant, ensuring the most knowledgable of advisors for such crucial decisions. It is no surprise, then, that Fla's latest man on the bench thought carefully before stepping into the breach.

In barely a year at the helm of the Rio de Janeiro giants, Jesus engineered a run of almost unparalleled success, dominated of course by 2019's Serie A and Copa Libertadores double which saw Fla become the first team to be crowned both Brazilian and South American champions since Pele's Santos more than 60 years earlier.Īdd to that wins in the Carioca Championship, Brazil's Supercopa and the Recopa Sudamericana – of six competitions disputed during his tenure, only the Club World Cup, lost in agonising fashion to Liverpool, escaped Jesus' grasp – and one can see the scale of the challenge in taking over from the brilliant new Benfica boss. Stepping into Jorge Jesus' shoes at Flamengo would promise to be a daunting task for almost any coach on the planet.
