List of CR Flamengo managers
From the opening of Flamengo's football department in 1912 up until 1920 the club had no official head coach. The job of commanding the professional team consisted in a Ground Committee usually improvised, composed by the team captains and club directors. In 1920 the club has its first solo head coach, the Uruguayan Ramón Platero, only lasting for 9 matches. The Ground Committee appeared again in 1923, this time in its last appearance.
Flamengo had a total of 85 different head coaches from 9 different nationalities in 144 spells during the 111 years of its football department history.
