DeutschJust like Jhon Árias! Fans slam Leonardo Jardim after deal with Fla 😅
Leonardo Jardim was announced by Flamengo this Wednesday (4), and once again, we had a "drama" on social media due to past statements.
Much like Jhon Árias, who also upset Fluminense fans, the Portuguese coach had previously stated that in Brazil, he would only work for Cruzeiro.
After confirming the deal with Flamengo, Jardim became the target of fans on social media, questioning his words when he was the Cruzeiro coach.
In December 2025, right after the penalty shootout loss to Corinthians in the Copa do Brasil semifinal, the coach bid farewell to the Raposa in a press conference at Toca da Raposa II.
At the time, he explained that he made the decision due to family reasons.
Check out the fury of the Cruzeiro fans below, and tell us what you think of these cases, like those of Árias and Jardim!

Italy Manager Has No Intentions Of Dropping Inter Milan & Italy Superstar Amid Boos From Serie A Fans
Italy manager Gennaro Gattuso reportedly has no intentions of omitting Inter Milan star Alessandro Bastoni from his squad later this month.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 26-year-old will feature for the Azzurri in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying playoffs.
Alessandro Bastoni has become one of the most unpopular figures in Serie A after his antics during last month’s Derby d’Italia against Juventus.
Indeed, in addition to faking a foul, which tricked Federico La Penna into sending off Pierre Kalulu, cameras caught the star defender celebrating the Frenchman’s expulsion.
Since then, fans across the country have booed Bastoni at every opportunity.

Despite being pressured by the Azzurri supporters to drop Bastoni, Gennaro Gattuso has no intention of doing it.
Indeed, the Nerazzurri stalwart has been a cornerstone of Italy’s defense for years.
With the four-time world champions set to face Northern Ireland in a crunch playoff showdown, Gattuso cannot afford to sideline Bastoni.
Therefore, the former Atalanta man will represent his country despite the risk of drawing boos from sections of the crowd.
“I’ve said to the physios” – Cole Palmer shares major fitness update
Cole Palmer has revealed he’s feeling the best he’s felt in “four of five months” following Chelsea’s win against Aston Villa.
The Blues ran out emphatic 4-1 winners at Villa Park, to move above Liverpool and back into fifth place as the race for Champions League football continues.
Chelsea responded brilliantly to going a goal down in the opening minutes with Joao Pedro scoring a hat-trick, and Palmer also getting on the scoresheet.

Palmer has struggled with a groin injury this season, which caused him to miss virtually the entire first half of the campaign.
Since returning in December he’s had some good moments, but things haven’t appeared quite right, and he didn’t have a good performance against Arsenal.

However, speaking before the big win, Palmer provided a fitness update, and revealed this is the best he’s felt in months.
“I still feel a bit away from being [the best Cole Palmer],” he said as quoted on X.com.
“I’ve said to the physios this week that this is the best I have felt in four or five months.
“I can do everything on the pitch now so it is just about finding my rhythm.”
Palmer has previously stated he’s yet to play a game fully fit this season, but put in an encouraging performance at Villa Park.
The England international now has five goals and an assist in his last league five games, and Chelsea will be hoping that form continues.
Joao Pedro delivers once again
Whilst Palmer is continuing to work on getting back to his best, Pedro has continued to go from strength to strength under Liam Rosenior.
The 24-year-old has now scored 14 league goals this season, and has eight in his last eight Premier League matches.
