Filipe Luís won another title as Flamengo's coach

Flamengo won another title in 2025 this Wednesday (03), after defeating Ceará 1-0, becoming the Brazilian champion. Now, the red-black board begins to focus on renewing coach Filipe Luís's contract. After the celebration at Maracanã, the coach was candid about the contract extension.

— If it depends on me, I'm renewed. It's not just up to me. Of course, I want to stay, I'm happy here, my family is happy here. I have to earn the right to sit in this chair. For that, I work many, many hours every day and will continue—, he said, before concluding:

— How can I sit down to renew a contract while competing in the Libertadores final, having Atlético four days before, and before that Fluminense? Only a phenomenon could find so much time for so many things—, concluded Filipe Luís in a press conference.

What is Filipe Luís's situation?

It is worth noting that the red-black board started talks for Filipe Luís's renewal a few months ago. However, amid the competition in the Libertadores, the Club World Cup, and the Brasileirão, the coach preferred to focus on Flamengo's performance on the field.

Taking over the technical command of Flamengo in October 2024, Filipe Luís reached his fifth title with the club. Last year, the coach won the Copa do Brasil by defeating Atlético-MG. This season, Mengão won the Supercopa do Brasil, the Carioca, the Libertadores, and the Brasileirão.

What is Flamengo's next match?

After the Brazilian title, Flamengo returns to the field on Sunday (07) to face Mirassol, for the last round of the championship. However, with the Brasileirão decided, the expectation is that Mengão's under-20 team will face the São Paulo club, due to the Intercontinental Cup.

Thus, with the alternative team, Flamengo visits Mirassol at 4 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (07), at Estádio José de Campos Maia. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the match news through the website, YouTube, and social media.
