The relationship between Flamengo and Filipe Luís came to an end in the early hours of this Tuesday (03), after the Rubro-Negro announced the coach's dismissal. Thus, the coach leaves Mengão after 101 games played, along with seven titles won.
Filipe Luís took over the technical command of Flamengo in September 2024, after Tite's dismissal. Furthermore, the coach had a contract valid until December 2027, after renewing the bond for two years. In other words, the commander was caught by surprise with the news of the end of the relationship.
In 101 games played as Flamengo's coach, Filipe Luís has 64 wins, 22 draws, and 15 losses, with a success rate of 70%. Additionally, the young commander won seven titles: Copa do Brasil, Supercopa do Brasil, Carioca, Brasileirão, Libertadores, Derby das Américas, and Challenger Cup.
However, after a historic season in 2025, Filipe Luís's Flamengo did not present good results at the beginning of 2026. Thus, in addition to being runners-up in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Recopa Sul-Americana, the strained relationship between the coach and president Bap culminated in the coach's dismissal.
Before dismissing Filipe Luís, Flamengo already had a name 'lined up': Leonardo Jardim. Thus, the expectation is that the Portuguese will arrive in Rio de Janeiro later this Tuesday (03), to sign a two-year contract with the Rubro-Negro.
Leonardo Jardim already has a date to debut as Flamengo's coach. This is because, this Sunday (08), the Rubro-Negro will face Fluminense at 6 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the grand final of the Campeonato Carioca.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the game between Flamengo and Fluminense, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open TV), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the final of the Carioca.
