Filipe Luís at Benfica? Ex-Flamengo star warns: more pressure | OneFootball

At a time when José Mourinho’s future has been the subject of much debate, due to strong interest from Real Madrid, several names have been mentioned as possible successors to the Portuguese manager at Benfica. In recent hours, Filipe Luís, former Flamengo coach, has been linked with the Eagles, and there are those who believe it is something that “will work out”.

In exclusive statements to Antena 1, RTP’s main radio station, the former Flamengo footballer, where he won titles with Filipe Luís, believes in the Brazilian’s success wearing the eagle on his chest. “He is a great coach and, if he goes to Benfica, it will work out,” said the Brazilian, without any doubt.

“There is much more pressure at Flamengo than at Benfica. If he really goes to Benfica, I wish him the best of luck,” concluded Juninho Vieira, adding that Filipe Luís would have a smoother path in charge of the Eagles, after taking over the Brazilian club, where he was constantly under scrutiny from fans and the press.

Currently playing for Pumas in the Mexican league, the Brazilian star crossed paths with Filipe Luís when the coach, who also worked under Jorge Jesus, was in charge of Flamengo, where they won a Copa Libertadores, Brasileirão, Brazilian Cup and Super Cup together. Juninho Vieira has also played in Portugal, for Estoril and Desportivo de Chaves.
