"Filipe Luis will no longer be in charge of the professional team. Ivan Palanco (assistant coach) and Diogo Linhares (physical trainer) are also leaving the club along with him. Flamengo thanks former player and coach Filipe Luis for everything that was achieved and shared during this journey."
"Luis, 40, averaged a trophy every 14 games as he led Flamengo to seven titles in his 100 matches in charge since replacing former Brazil coach Tite in September 2024. Among his achievements Luis, who won the Premier League as part of Jose Mourinho's Chelsea in 2015, guided Flamengo to Copa Libertadores glory in 2025."
"In doing so, Luis became the ninth man to win the competition both as a player and as a coach, having claimed the trophy twice with Flamengo in 2019 and 2022. He also claimed Serie A, Copa do Brasil, Supercopa do Brasil, Campeonato Carioca, Fifa Challenger Cup and Fifa Derby of the Americas honours during his tenure."
Filipe Luis, 40, was sacked as Flamengo manager immediately after the club's 8-0 second-leg win against Madureira secured an 11-0 aggregate victory and a place in Sunday's Campeonato Carioca final against Fluminense. During his 100-match tenure since replacing Tite in September 2024, Luis won seven titles, averaging one trophy every 14 games. His achievements included the 2025 Copa Libertadores, making him the ninth person to win the competition as both player and coach. Luis also secured Serie A, Copa do Brasil, Supercopa do Brasil, and other honors. Despite this success, Flamengo lost back-to-back finals in 2026. The club announced his dismissal at 00:59 local time, with assistant coach Ivan Palanco and physical trainer Diogo Linhares also departing.
