He failed to gain a foothold in the Colorado camp, and in 1999 he moved to another team, traditionally ranked among the leading in Brazil - Fluminense . However, in the late 1990s, a serious crisis arose in a club from Rio de Janeiro , which led to the fact that in 1999 the team began the Serie C championship of Brazil. Odair received a game practice and helped the “tricolor” win the third division of Brazilian football. In 2000, he returned to Inter, but again could not become a solid base player.

Three rounds before the end of Series B, Inter's management fired Guto Ferreira and appointed Elman as head coach on an ongoing basis. “Colorados” under his leadership won two matches, and until the last round they fought for victory in the tournament.
