Filipe Luís stands firm on Flamengo contract renewal | OneFootball

Filipe Luís completed his first full season as Flamengo's coach

Flamengo wrapped up its 2025 commitments this Wednesday (17th), after finishing as runners-up in the Club World Cup to PSG (FRA). Living out his final days under contract with Mengão, coach Filipe Luís was once again questioned about a contract renewal, but maintained his stance.

— First of all, it was an incredible, magical, historic season. Players have made history at Flamengo, and even more would have if the penalties had gone our way. It’s a very successful and ambitious group, and I have no doubt they will continue with the same ambition — he said, before concluding:

— As for the future, now is not the time. I’m still mourning the game. But it doesn’t depend only on me. We hope things will be sorted out in the coming days — Filipe Luís concluded in a press conference.

What is Filipe Luís’s current situation?

It’s worth noting that the red-and-black board began talks to renew Filipe Luís’s contract a few months ago. However, in the midst of competing in the Libertadores, the Club World Cup, and the Brasileirão, the coach preferred to focus on Flamengo’s on-field performance.

Taking charge of Flamengo in October 2024, Filipe Luís has collected five titles with the club. Last year, the coach won the Copa do Brasil by defeating Atlético-MG. In addition, this season, Mengão won the Supercopa do Brasil, the Carioca, the Libertadores, and the Brasileirão.

What are Flamengo’s next steps?

After the Club World Cup, the Flamengo squad flew back to Rio de Janeiro this Thursday (18th), at 10am (local time) and 4am (Brasília time). Thus, the expectation is that the red-and-black delegation will arrive in the ‘Marvelous City’ in the evening and, afterwards, begin their vacation.
