Filipe Luís’ wife: “I had to sacrifice happiness” after Flamengo win | OneFootball

Patrícia Bruno, wife of Filipe Luís, highlighted moments of sacrifice for the Libertadores fourth title

Filipe Luís has never hidden that he breathes football 24 hours a day. A student of the game, the coach often misses important moments with his family for Flamengo. After winning the fourth Copa Libertadores title, the coach's wife, Patrícia Bruno, published a text on social media with strong words.

“It wasn't always easy to accept, especially in difficult moments, that I would need to sacrifice my family's happiness for the happiness of a Nation. But here we are today, all happy, celebrating and making it all worthwhile,” says a part of Patrícia's text.

“Congratulations my love Filipe Luís not only for the title but also for trying to be the best husband, father, and friend despite the absence. For teaching all of us, especially our children, the value of work, effort, and resilience,” she added.

WHO IS PATRÍCIA BRUNO?

Spanish, Patrícia has been with Filipe Luís for 17 years. That is, the partner of the Flamengo idol has been living in Brazil since 2019, when the then full-back signed with the Rubro-Negro. The couple has three children: Tiago, Sara, and Lucas. They all were in Lima to watch the Copa Libertadores final.

WILL FILIPE LUÍS STAY?

With a contract until the end of the month, Filipe Luís's future at Flamengo is uncertain. The renewal, which seemed to be something simple, 'turned into a soap opera' after the coach signed with agent Jorge Mendes. As the agent demands a 'Libertadores champion level' salary, the club's management is negotiating. There is an expectation of a new round of negotiations next week.
