"Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that, as of this Tuesday, Filipe Luís will no longer be in charge of the professional team. Ivan Palanco [assistant coach] and Diogo Linhares [physical trainer] are also leaving the club. Flamengo thanks the former player and coach Filipe Luís for everything that was achieved and shared during this journey."
"The former Chelsea left-back arrived at Flamengo as a player in 2019 and helped the club win 10 trophies, including two Brazilian league titles and two Copa Libertadores before beginning his coaching career in 2024. He steered Flamengo to 64 wins in 101 games in charge, with only 15 defeats."
"Overall, however, the Rio de Janeiro team has had a nightmare beginning to the campaign, its worst start to a season in the last 10 years. Flamengo lost the Brazilian Super Cup title to Corinthians and fell to Lanús of Argentina in the South American Recopa. They are 11th in Brazil's Serie A with four points from their opening three games."
Flamengo parted ways with Filipe Luís, one of their most successful coaches, after a disappointing campaign start. Despite progressing to the Carioca Championship final with an 8-0 victory over Madureira, the club faced significant setbacks including losses in the Brazilian Super Cup to Corinthians and the South American Recopa to Lanús. Flamengo currently sits 11th in Serie A with only four points from three matches. Luís, a former Chelsea left-back who joined Flamengo as a player in 2019, compiled an impressive coaching record of 64 wins in 101 games with only 15 defeats. Assistant coach Ivan Palanco and physical trainer Diogo Linhares also departed. Flamengo reportedly pursued Portuguese manager Leonardo Jardim as a replacement.
