Ancelotti praises Filipe Luís, sees hurdle in Flamengo exit | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti spoke about Flamengo's coach this Wednesday (01)

A year leading the professional team of Flamengo, Filipe Luís is already a topic in Europe. However, it is not common for Brazilians to coach teams on the Old Continent. The coach of the Brazilian National Team, Italian Carlo Ancelotti, praised 'Filipinho' and highlighted a political issue that prevents the export of coaches.

“He is a young coach who already has good experience as a player, he can do a lot, he is doing very well. It is a bit rare for a Brazilian coach to train in Europe,” said Carlo Ancelotti in an interview with 'TNT Brasil'.

— But it is a struggle that Brazilian coaches have to face to be able to coach in Europe as I can coach in Brazil. Why can't a Brazilian coach in Italy or elsewhere? I see a political problem between Conmebol and UEFA —, added the coach of the Brazilian National Team.

DOES FILIPE LUÍS HAVE NO SPACE IN EUROPE?

Despite Ancelotti identifying a barrier for Filipe Luís to work in Europe, the young coach remains at Flamengo by choice. After all, recently, 'Filipinho' didn't even want to hear a proposal from Fenerbahçe (TUR). Additionally, Bayer Leverkusen (GER) made inquiries.

Filipe Luís has never hidden that he needs more experience as a coach to consider a move to Europe. Furthermore, the coach emphasizes that he is happy leading the team of his heart, where he has already won three titles, leads the Brasileirão 2025, and will compete in the semifinals of the Libertadores this month.

LEAVE FILIPE LUÍS HERE, ANCELOTTI?

Valued by Ancelotti, Filipe Luís is fully focused on Flamengo. This Thursday (02), the Rubro-Negro faces Cruzeiro, for the 26th round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at a packed Maracanã.
