Filipe Luís eyes historic first for Flamengo v Lanús in final | OneFootball

Champion as a player, Filipe Luís attempts to win the Recopa for the first time as a coach

Filipe Luís's journey as the head coach of Flamengo is still short, but already successful. On a national level, the coach has already won all the major titles, and now he wants to achieve this on a continental level as well. Having won the Libertadores 2025, Filipe is now aiming for the Recopa Sudamericana.

It's true that Filipe Luís already has a trophy from this competition in his collection, but it was as a player. In 2020, the then left-back played in both matches against Independiente Del Valle (EQU) and helped Fla become champions. In 2023, the Rubro-Negro competed in the tournament again but ended up as runners-up, losing to Del Valle themselves.

What titles has Filipe Luís won as Flamengo's coach?

Still in 2024, when he took over Flamengo in October, Filipe Luís led the team to the title of the Copa do Brasil. In 2025, the coach was the great 'title collector' of national football.

Having the full season to compete, Filipe Luís led Flamengo to four titles: Campeonato Carioca, Supercopa do Brasil, Brasileirão, and Libertadores. Additionally, Fla also won the Taça Guanabara, the Derby of the Americas, and the Challenger Cup.

When will Flamengo vs. Lanús take place?

The decision between Flamengo and Lanús takes place over two matches. The first one will be on the night of this Thursday (19th), at the La Fortaleza stadium. Then, on February 26th, the teams will meet again to decide the title at Maracanã. It is important to note that there is no away goals rule. Therefore, in case of a tie on aggregate, the match goes straight to penalties, without extra time.
