"Filipe Luis, by now the highly successful manager of Flamengo, had just watched his team win 8-0 against Madureira to reach another Campeonato Carioca final. Despite that, and the fact he won seven different competitions in 18 months at the club, he was unceremoniously bundled through the door marked Do One."
"In November, Flamengo beat Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores final to become champions of South America. In December they won the Brazilian title and took Paris Saint-Germain to penalties in the Intercontinental Cup final, the closest a South American team has come to winning it since 2012."
"Filipe Luis set the bar so high that defeats in less important competitions went down like flatulence in a lead balloon. In February, Flamengo lost the Supercopa do Brasil and Recopa Sudamericana; they also lost their first league games and three matches in the Campeonato Carioca."
Filipe Luis, Flamengo's manager, was dismissed shortly after guiding his team to an 8-0 victory against Madureira in the Campeonato Carioca. This termination came despite his remarkable achievements, including winning seven different competitions in 18 months at the club. His accomplishments included winning the Copa Libertadores in November, the Brazilian title in December, and taking PSG to penalties in the Intercontinental Cup final. Luis, aged 40 and considered one of the world's best young managers, had recently been on Chelsea's shortlist to replace Enzo Maresca. The dismissal followed some recent defeats in less important competitions, suggesting the club's extremely high expectations made any loss unacceptable.
