Arrascaeta urges Flamengo: Renew Filipe Luís after Libertadores win

Filipe Luís has a contract with Flamengo until the end of 2025

Flamengo defeated Palmeiras 1-0 this Saturday (29), winning the Libertadores championship for the fourth time. After the big decision, Arrascaeta commented on Filipe Luís and 'urged' the Rubro-Negro to renew with the coach.

— I believe he can't leave. He is a very promising coach and has been a professional for just over a year. The mission he has, how he organized the group… He is very respected among us -, he said, before concluding:

— I believe this was a great differentiator this year, keeping a coach who knows what he wants, with players who respect him and believe in his idea. We are reaping all these rewards -, concluded Arrascaeta.

What is Filipe Luís's situation at Flamengo?

Coach Filipe Luís has a contract with Flamengo until the end of this year. Thus, the Rubro-Negro board is actively negotiating with the coach to extend the contract. However, at the moment, talks are 'stalled' due to salary issues and the length of the agreement.

Flamengo announced the promotion of Filipe Luís to the professional team in October 2024, after Tite's dismissal. Since then, the young coach has captivated South American football and amassed titles such as the Copa do Brasil, the Supercopa do Brasil, the Carioca, and now the Libertadores.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Filipe Luís on the sidelines, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (03) to face Ceará. The match takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 37th round of the Brasileirão. In case of victory, Mengão will be crowned champion of the championship.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube), and SporTV (closed channel) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Ceará game.
