Bap changes tack with Filipe Luís, unlike Arrascaeta’s renewal | OneFootball

Filipe Luís has a contract with Flamengo until December 2025

The management of Flamengo is focusing its efforts on renewing the contract of coach Filipe Luís. The current deal is valid until December 2025, but the club is working to extend the agreement. The intention is to ensure continuity for the project.

According to information gathered by Coluna do Fla, president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, has decided to personally lead the negotiations. This approach differs from what happened during the renewal of Arrascaeta, which was handled directly by football director José Boto. The new proposal is expected to include salary adjustments and clauses based on sporting goals.

Sources close to the club indicate that there is still no set date for the official delivery of the counterproposal. Thus, Bap will determine the salary cap and the exact amount to be presented to the coach. The expectation is that negotiations will progress before the end of the season.

HOW IS FILIPE LUÍS DOING AT FLAMENGO?

Filipe Luís took charge of the professional team on September 30, 2024, right after Tite's departure. Since then, the coach has accumulated good numbers and has established a positive trajectory. So far, he has managed 80 matches, with 51 wins, 20 draws, and only nine losses.

The success rate is around 72%, a percentage that reinforces internal confidence in his work. Under the former left-back's leadership, Flamengo has won three titles: the Copa do Brasil 2024, the Supercopa do Brasil 2025, and the Campeonato Carioca 2025.

CAN FILIPE LUÍS WIN MORE TITLES WITH FLAMENGO?

Flamengo remains alive on two decisive fronts this season. In the Brasileirão, the team is fighting for the top spots, while in the Libertadores they have secured a spot in the final against Palmeiras. The coach, therefore, has the chance to expand his collection of titles in the short term.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?

The next challenge for Flamengo takes place this Saturday (15th), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), against Sport, at Arena de Pernambuco. The match, valid for the 12th (postponed) round of the Brasileirão, will be broadcast on Prime Video, via streaming. Coluna do Fla will cover all the details in real time, with coverage on digital platforms.
