Filipe Luís continues negotiating contract renewal with Flamengo

Flamengo is still trying to renew the contract of coach Filipe Luís for the 2026 season. While the situation is yet to be defined, Léo Ortiz and Jorginho have requested the coach to stay for the next year, before Zico's Stars Game this Saturday (27).

— I hope he stays, he is the best coach in Brazil today. Since he arrived, he has managed to improve all the players. He is someone who believed in my work and plays a game that enchants. The fans like it -, started Léo Ortiz, before concluding:

— We hope he continues, but it depends on him and the management. We can only hope that he stays. Let's see how things will unfold. I hope he and the club can come to an understanding -, concluded the Flamengo defender.

And what did Jorginho say about Filipe Luís's renewal?

Like Léo Ortiz, Jorginho was also questioned about the renewal of coach Filipe Luís. Thus, the midfielder highlighted how a change of coach could disrupt the club for 2026.

– With his possible stay, it is a work of more than a year. If someone new arrives, everything is different. You have to enter a new dynamic, new requests. You cannot guarantee how it will be. It's a question mark. That's the difference. I only spoke with him to wish him a good vacation. We are hoping that everything works out -, said Jorginho.

How is the negotiation between Filipe Luís and Flamengo?

Coach of Flamengo, Filipe Luís has three more days left on his contract with the Rubro-Negro. Not surprisingly, the Most Beloved is going full steam ahead in talks with Jorge Mendes, but has yet to reach an agreement. This is because salary remains the main point of contention between the parties.

Despite remaining focused on renewing Filipe Luís's contract, Flamengo is considering other alternatives in the market in case an agreement with the coach is not reached. Thus, Artur Jorge, coach of Al Rayyan (CAT), and Thiago Motta, former coach of Juventus (ITA), are options for the Rubro-Negro.
