Sarah, the CBF just assumed Fluminense would release Ramalho – they approached Ramalho before making the announcement and he agreed in principle, saying he only needed to discuss things with Fluminense. Both he and the CBF didn't think the club wold block the appointment. It does speak of arrogance and lack of consultation but the presumption is understandable as in Brazil it's unusual for a club to refuse to release a manager for the national team job.

Any word on why the Brazil Federation did not discuss releasing Ramalho with Fluminense earlier? Its quite strange and screams of massive disorganization…or maybe Im missing something (I confess, I havent followed this plot very closely).
