Ex-Flamengo star warns: Filipe Luís may not stay much longer

Filipe Luís is Making History as Flamengo’s Coach

Filipe Luís’ Flamengo continues to impress the football world with their performance in the 2025 season. It’s no surprise that the coach has already started to attract attention from some foreign clubs. Former Mengão player Alejandro Mancuso has warned Fla about the coach’s future.

I think Filipe Luís’ work is fantastic. I really like him, because he’s a calm guy, always with his feet on the ground. He’s a thoughtful person, who worked for a long time in Spain with (Diego) Simeone, who has a very good coaching conduct and likes to get involved. It wasn’t easy for Filipe Luís to take over the first team and start working. The feeling I had when I watched a Flamengo game and saw Filipe was that it seemed like he had been working with the first team for ten years, because he always showed that. The image of a very serious guy, wanting to do a great job. I don’t know how long Flamengo will be able to keep him, because he will certainly get more offers to go to Europe,” concluded Mancuso, in an interview with ‘ESPN’.

Has Filipe Luís Already Received Offers from Other Clubs?

In recent weeks, Fenerbahçe (TUR) tried to sign Filipe Luís, but both Flamengo and the coach turned down the offer. After all, the coach wants to continue his work at Mais Querido, since the team is still alive in the Libertadores and leads the Brazilian league.

What Has Filipe Luís’ Journey as Flamengo’s Coach Been Like?

Filipe Luís is close to completing one year as head coach of Flamengo’s professional team. It’s worth remembering that he took over Mengão on September 30, 2024, after coach Tite was dismissed.

Since then, with Filipe Luís at the helm, Flamengo has won three titles: Copa do Brasil, Campeonato Carioca, and Supercopa do Brasil. In addition, Filipe Luís has coached 67 matches, with 44 wins, 17 draws, and only six losses.

What is Flamengo’s Next Match?

With Filipe Luís on the sidelines, Flamengo continues preparations to face Estudiantes (ARG) this Thursday (25th), in the second leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals. The match will take place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, their website, and social media. Meanwhile, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes.
