The comparison between Felipe Luiz's early coaching tenure and Tite's time at Flamengo reveals much about the latter's struggles. While Tite had his moments of success, including an undefeated run in the Carioca Championship, this was contrasted by shortcomings in the Copa Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship.
Under Tite, Flamengo's performance was deemed 'mediocre,' a sentiment rooted in fan expectations and the high standards associated with a team of such caliber. Felipe Luiz's impactful arrival has thus shone a light on Tite's difficulties, illustrating how a fresh perspective can invigorate a team.
