European giant turned down by Filipe Luís, ex-Flamengo | OneFootball

Filipe Luís is virtually set to join Monaco (FRA)

Filipe Luís is close to finalizing a deal and being announced by Monaco (FRA) for next season. However, before starting talks with the club from the principality, the former Flamengo coach turned down an offer from Milan (ITA).

According to information from Italian newspaper ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’, Milan was one of the options for Filipe Luís. However, the coach chose Monaco because of the project presented by Brazilian executive Thiago Scuro.

It is worth noting that Thiago Scuro recently worked at Red Bull Bragantino and is familiar with the work of Filipe Luís. The former Flamengo manager has already said goodbye to his colleagues in Rio de Janeiro and is preparing to head to Monaco.

WHAT IS FILIPE LUÍS’ SITUATION?

Filipe Luís has been without a club since leaving Flamengo in March this year, after the 8-0 win over Madureira in the Campeonato Carioca. However, the Brazilian coach had been linked with several clubs, including Bayer Leverkusen (GER) and Chelsea (ENG).

WHAT IS MONACO’S SITUATION?

With the deal with Monaco, Filipe Luís will have a packed schedule and the difficult task of challenging for the French league title. In addition, the former Flamengo coach will also work with knockout competitions in mind, such as the Coupe de France, the French League Cup, and the Europa League.
