Ex-Flamengo man Filipe Luís on German club's radar | OneFootball

Filipe Luís has already been approached by Chelsea (ENG) and Benfica (POR)

After leaving Flamengo in March this year, Filipe Luís remains without a club, but he is still being monitored in the transfer market. As a result, the former Mengo coach has also become a target for Bayer Leverkusen (GER) and negotiations are already underway.

According to information from German journalist Patrick Berger, Filipe Luís has become Bayer Leverkusen’s top target for next season. The former Flamengo coach is on a shortlist alongside Michel, currently at Girona (ESP).

Filipe Luís is in ongoing talks with Bayer Leverkusen. However, discussions are only expected to pick up pace after the end of the season in German football. The final round is scheduled for this weekend.

IN DEMAND ON THE MARKET?

Before becoming a target for Bayer Leverkusen, Filipe Luís had already been closely monitored by some European clubs. First by Chelsea (ENG), and then by Benfica (POR), to replace José Mourinho. So, the former Flamengo coach is expected to take over a team soon.

HOW DID FILIPE LUÍS DO AT FLAMENGO?

Filipe Luís had a successful spell at Flamengo. That’s because the coach won the Copa do Brasil title in 2024. Soon after, he lifted the trophies for the Supercopa do Brasil, Campeonato Carioca, Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship the following year.

Filipe Luís managed Filipe Luís in 100 matches for Flamengo. During that period, there were 63 wins, 21 losses and 16 draws. The coach left the Rubro-Negro side on March 3, after the historic 8-0 thrashing of Madureira at the Maracanã.

WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO?

Now coached by Leonardo Jardim, Flamengo take the field this Thursday (14) to face Vitória. The Rio club will take on the team from Bahia at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Barradão Stadium, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.
