Filipe Luís can become Flamengo’s top manager with Recopa win, stats

Filipe Luís attempts to win the South American Recopa title for the first time as a coach

Flamengo continues its preparation to face Lanús (ARG) this Thursday (19), for the first leg of the South American Recopa. Besides trying to lift the first trophy with the Rubro-Negro in 2026, coach Filipe Luís has another reason to pursue the continental title.

This is because, in case of a Rubro-Negro title in the South American Recopa, Filipe Luís will become the most successful coach in the history of Flamengo, alongside Carlinhos. At this moment, the coach of Mengão has won five trophies, potentially reaching a sixth cup by the end of this month.
