Filipe Luís only person to win Copa do Brasil, Brasileirão, Libertadores as player and manager | OneFootball

Filipe Luís took over Flamengo just over a year ago and has already won five titles

The relationship between Filipe Luís and Flamengo is built on titles and records. The current coach of the Rubro-Negro became, on Wednesday (03), the first to win the Copa do Brasil, Brasileirão, and Libertadores as a player and as a coach.

Filipe Luís joined Flamengo in 2019, when he was still a left-back. The former athlete won two Libertadores, two Brasileirões, and one Copa do Brasil on the field. On the sidelines, however, he took home one trophy of each.

Is anyone close to Filipe Luís in this record?

Only Felipão, Antônio Lopes, Tite, and Cuca have all three trophies, but only as coaches. Combining the titles as a player and coach is exclusive to Filipe Luís, who downplays the achievement believing there is still much work to be done.

– I wasn't aware of this context. Honestly, I'm very happy, it hasn't sunk in yet, because I'm already thinking about the next game. Everything is very fast, there's not much time to celebrate -, highlighted the former left-back in a press conference after the Brasileirão title.

How did Flamengo win this year's Brasileirão?

Filipe Luís's team took to the field on Wednesday (03) needing only a victory to become Brazilian champions. The 78 points of the Rubro-Negro can no longer be reached by Palmeiras or Cruzeiro in the last round.

Thus, Samuel Lino broke through and scored the title-winning goal in the 37th round of the Brasileirão. Flamengo defeated Ceará 1-0 at Maracanã to lift the trophy in front of the Rubro-Negro Nation.

What is Flamengo's next game?

As champions, Flamengo decided to send the under-20 team to face Mirassol this Saturday (06), for the 38th round of the Brasileirão. The match takes place from 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maião. On the other hand, the main Rubro-Negro team will take the field on Wednesday (10).

In Qatar, Flamengo faces Cruz Azul (MEX) from 2 PM (Brasília time), for the Intercontinental Cup. If victorious, the Most Beloved will face Pyramids FC (EGY) on Saturday (13).

Thus, only by triumphing against the Mexican and Egyptian teams will Flamengo go head-to-head with PSG (FRA) in the grand final of the Intercontinental. The final decision is scheduled for December 17, also in Doha, Qatar.
