Filipe Luís is about to play a Libertadores final with Flamengo


Coach Filipe Luís continues to impress Brazilian football with Flamengo's journey in 2025. Besides competing for the Brasileirão title, Mengão is in the final of the Libertadores. Flamengo idol Diego Ribas warned the club amidst the coach's potential European future.

Well, I think he definitely has the potential to be a coach for big clubs in Europe. It will depend a lot on the timing, how long he stays here, how many achievements, and the tests he will have gone through -, he said, before concluding:

At a certain point, when he decides it's the right time for him to embark on this adventure, which really, in my opinion, is something very personal. I think it's a natural path for him now -, concluded Diego Ribas, in an interview with ‘Lance!’.

What is Filipe Luís's situation at Flamengo?

It's worth noting that Flamengo is actively negotiating with Filipe Luís to renew the coach's contract. After a new agreement with Arrascaeta, extending his contract until the end of 2028, the club's management is turning all its attention to the Mengão coach.

How is Filipe Luís doing at Flamengo?

Flamengo officially appointed Filipe Luís as the professional team's coach on September 30, 2024, after Tite's dismissal. Since then, the coach has been making his mark in Mengão's history. 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 professional team's coach at Flamengo. Additionally, the coach has already won three titles with Mengão: Copa do Brasil 2024, Supercopa do Brasil 2025, and Carioca 2025.

What is Flamengo's next match?

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

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