"Filipe Luis has been sacked as head coach of Flamengo three months after leading them to the Copa Libertadores title and hours after an 8-0 win in the Campeonato Carioca. The former Brazil full-back, who signed a two-year contract extension in December, is widely regarded as one of the best young coaches in world football but his hugely successful 17-month spell at the Rio de Janeiro giants is now over."
"Having succeeded former Brazil coach Tite in September 2024, he guided them to the Libertadores and Serie A double. His stock fell, however, following a Copa do Brasil loss to Corinthians and defeat in both legs of the Recopa Sudamericana against Lanus."
"Flamengo announced that, as of this Tuesday (March 3), Filipe Luís will not continue in charge of the professional team. With him, Ivan Palanco (technical assistant) and Diogo Linhares (physical trainer) also leave the club. Flamengo thanks former player and coach Filipe Luís for everything that was achieved and shared on this journey."
Filipe Luis has been dismissed as Flamengo's head coach after 17 months in charge, ending a hugely successful period that included winning the Copa Libertadores and Serie A double. The 40-year-old former Brazil full-back, regarded as one of the world's best young coaches, was sacked three months after his major trophy success and hours after leading Flamengo to an 8-0 win in the Campeonato Carioca. His departure follows recent setbacks including a Copa do Brasil loss to Corinthians and defeats in both legs of the Recopa Sudamericana against Lanus. Luis had signed a two-year contract extension in December after succeeding Tite in September 2024. His dismissal is expected to attract interest from European clubs seeking managerial talent.
