In two and a half years at the club, Phelipe Leal led the Under-17 category to unprecedented victories in the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil and the Manchester United Summer Trophy, in England, defeating Porto, Arsenal and Manchester United.

Arthur Peixoto leaves Flamengo after 13 seasons, during which he played in all youth football categories and achieved numerous achievements, including the São Paulo Cup, the Brazilian Championship and the Brazilian Super Cup, all in the Under-20 category.

Both were also part of the coaching staff that won the U-17 World Cup with the Brazilian National Team in 2019.
