Ansu Fati on Filipe Luís’s Flamengo impact after 2025 triumphs | OneFootball

Filipe Luís’s Flamengo made history in 2025, adding the Brasileirão and Libertadores to a stellar year. Monaco forward Ansu Fati has now spoken about following his new coach’s work in Brazil.

“Yes, I knew him. I saw him at the Club World Cup, where the best played. I saw all the titles in Brazil. Many of the best players in the world come from Brazil, from Flamengo, Corinthians and Grêmio,” he said. He was speaking to Lance!

“I am happy that he is here and working to do his best. Now we are working hard. He has just arrived and needs to get to know everything, all the players, but he already has an idea of how he wants to play, which is very important.”

Across 101 matches as Flamengo head coach, Filipe Luís recorded 64 wins, 22 draws and 15 defeats, a 70% return. He lifted seven trophies, the Copa do Brasil, Supercopa do Brasil, Carioca, Brasileirão, Libertadores, Derby das Américas and the Challenger Cup.

Despite the landmark 2025, Flamengo dipped at the start of 2026. After finishing runners-up in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Recopa Sudamericana, the club dismissed Filipe Luís.

He took charge of Monaco on 6 July this year. Pre-season has brought four friendlies, two wins, one draw and one defeat.

Next up is an international friendly at Anfield against Liverpool on Sunday 9 at 10:30, Brasília time. SportyNet will broadcast the match on pay TV and on YouTube.
