After a historic season in 2025, Flamengo has not shown the same level on the field in 2026. Following the runner-up finish in the Recopa Sudamericana last Thursday (26), coach Filipe Luís was questioned about his work at Rubro-Negro, but he 'dodged' the topic.
— In my view, my team reflects me. In good and bad. And I am very proud of these players. That's all. I do not evaluate my work. My job is to assess the team for the next game. The evaluation (of my work) is up to you -, said Filipe Luís.
Flamengo announced the arrival of Filipe Luís as a professional coach in September 2024, following Tite's dismissal. Thus, with just over a year in charge, the coach has won five titles: Copa do Brasil, Supercopa do Brasil, Campeonato Carioca, Brasileirão and Libertadores.
Moreover, at this moment, Filipe Luís has 100 games as Rubro-Negro's coach. In this period, there are 62 wins, 23 draws, and 15 losses, with a success rate of 69.7%. Finally, Mengão has 175 goals scored under the coach and 68 goals conceded.
After another runner-up finish in 2026, Flamengo tries to 'turn the page' and refocus on the Campeonato Carioca. Filipe Luís's team will take the field on Monday (02) to face Madureira, at 9 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the second match of the State Championship semifinal.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Madureira, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca match.
