Filipe Luís has had a remarkable start to his career as a football coach, and as a result, Flamengo is already looking to extend the contract with the coach. Amidst this, the 'professor' does not hide his desire to manage a European team; however, for now, the dream will have to be postponed.
Coach Filipe Luís is pleased with the start he is having in the profession, but he does not yet see himself leading a European team at the moment. This is because, in his view, the 'professor' still needs to mature a bit more to take on this role.
It is important to note that Filipe Luís has not yet received any official offers from European teams. However, the Flamengo coach's name was linked to Bayer Leverkusen (GER) as soon as the German team dismissed Erik ten Hag.
Moreover, Filipe Luís has always made clear his desire to work again at Atlético de Madrid (ESP), this time off the field. A declared fan of Simeone, the former full-back seeks to follow in the footsteps of his idol at the Spanish club.
After moving in the market and seeking reinforcements during the transfer window, Flamengo is now focusing on renewing Filipe Luís' contract. At the moment, the Rubro-Negro has already sent a proposal to the coach, extending the contract until 2026. However, the transaction has not yet occurred due to salary disagreements, but Mengo believes this will not be a major obstacle.
With Filipe Luís at the helm, Flamengo is preparing to return to the field on September 14 to face Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 4 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show all the details of everything that will happen in the match, on YouTube.
