Flamengo Focuses on Renewing Filipe Luís' Contract After Arrascaeta Agreement

Flamengo announced last Saturday (08) the contract renewal with Arrascaeta until the end of 2028. Now, the club's management is focusing on extending the contract with coach Filipe Luís, and for this, President Luiz Eduardo Baptista has taken charge of the negotiation.

According to information from ‘ESPN’, Bap has taken the lead regarding the financial aspect of the negotiation. Thus, the president will set the salary cap and the exact amount to be offered to Filipe Luís for the contract renewal, which ends in December this year.

How is Filipe Luís Doing at Flamengo?

Flamengo officially appointed Filipe Luís as the head coach of the professional team on September 30, 2024, after Tite's dismissal. Since then, the coach has been making his mark in the history of Mengão. He has led Fla in 80 matches, achieving 51 victories, 20 draws, and nine losses.

In other words, Filipe Luís has an approximate success rate of 72% as the head coach of Flamengo's professional team. Additionally, the coach has already won three titles with Mengão: Copa do Brasil 2024, Supercopa do Brasil 2025, and Carioca 2025.

Can Filipe Luís Win More Titles with Flamengo?

Moreover, Filipe Luís can further enhance his resume as a coach of Flamengo. This is because the Rubro-Negro is still competing for the titles of the Brasileirão and the Libertadores. In the continental tournament, Mengão is qualified for the final to face Palmeiras.

Is Flamengo Preparing Another Renewal?

Besides the negotiations with Filipe Luís, Flamengo is also negotiating with Agustín Rossi to improve the goalkeeper's contract. The Argentine was the standout player in the team's qualification for the Libertadores final. Therefore, the number 1 will receive a salary increase, along with an extension of his contract.

What is Flamengo's Next Match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on the next fixture of the season. This Saturday (15), Filipe Luís' team will face Sport at the Arena de Pernambuco at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), in a rescheduled match of the 12th round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Prime Video (streaming) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Sport match.
