Bap annoyed as Filipe Luís talks to Chelsea and Flamengo, find out why | OneFootball

Filipe Luís reportedly negotiated with Chelsea (ENG) while in talks with Flamengo

The behind-the-scenes at Flamengo remain turbulent following the departure of Filipe Luís, even after the victory over Madureira last Monday (02). Weeks ago, Bap, the red-and-black president, reportedly found out that the coach had spoken with Chelsea (ENG), which left him irritated and further strained the relationship.

According to information from the UOL portal, Filipe Luís had negotiated with Chelsea at the end of last year. This period coincides with the talks the coach was having with Flamengo, which even stalled at certain points due to his demands.

Filipe Luís resumed negotiations with Flamengo after discovering that the transfer would actually be to Strasbourg (FRA), a club controlled by the same owner as Chelsea. Upon realizing this in recent days, Bap felt deceived, and the relationship, which was already strained, became even worse.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT?

Filipe Luís' contract ended at the end of last year. Thus, Flamengo began negotiations to extend the coach's contract. Meanwhile, Chelsea was planning to dismiss Italian Enzo Maresca.

In this scenario, Chelsea would sign Liam Rosenior, the head coach of Strasbourg, a club controlled by the Premier League team. Meanwhile, Filipe Luís could take charge of the French team during this period, which has a focus on young coaches.

AND NOW, FLAMENGO?

Now, Flamengo is negotiating the hiring of Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim, who is currently without a club. The coach last worked in Brazilian football when he managed Cruzeiro, finishing third in the Brasileirão and reaching the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil.
