Ex-Barcelona's Ansu Fati reveals all on Filipe Luís at Flamengo

How has Filipe Luís’ start at Monaco (FRA) been?

Filipe Luís’ Flamengo made history in the 2025 season. In addition to winning the Brasileirão and the Libertadores, the Rubro-Negro impressed the football world during the Club World Cup. Now working with the coach at Monaco (FRA), Ansu Fati revealed that he used to follow him at Fla.

— Yes, I knew him. I saw him at the Club World Cup, where the best played. I saw all the titles there in Brazil. Many of the best players in the world come from Brazil, from Flamengo, Corinthians, Grêmio -, he said, before concluding:

— I’m happy that he is here and working to do his best. Right now we’re working very hard. He has just arrived and needs to get to know everything a little better, all the players, but he already has an idea of how he wants to play, which is very important -, Ansu Fati concluded, to ‘Lance!’.

What were Filipe Luís’ numbers at Flamengo?

In 101 matches as head coach of Flamengo, Filipe Luís recorded 64 wins, 22 draws, and 15 losses, with a 70% success rate. In addition, the coach won seven titles: Copa do Brasil, Supercopa do Brasil, Carioca, Brasileirão, Libertadores, Derby of the Americas, and the Challenger Cup.

In other words, Flamengo had a historic season in 2025, but failed to maintain the same level at the start of 2026. So, after finishing as runners-up in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Recopa Sudamericana, the Rubro-Negro made the decision to dismiss Filipe Luís.

How has Filipe Luís’ start at Monaco been?

Filipe Luís took charge of Monaco on July 6 of this year. Since then, the coach has overseen four preseason friendlies, with two wins, one draw, and one loss. However, his toughest commitment so far will take place this Sunday (09).

On that occasion, Filipe Luís’ Monaco will face Liverpool (ENG) at 10:30 a.m. (Brasília time) in an international friendly at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, England. The match will be broadcast by SportyNet on pay TV and on YouTube.

What is the article author’s opinion of Filipe Luís?

Filipe Luís is a historic Flamengo idol and should have been treated with more respect when he left. The hope is that the coach will have a successful career in European football and, in the future, return to the Rubro-Negro to win even more titles, especially the Club World Cup, which was so close,” said Davi Esteves, journalist at Coluna do Fla.
