In addition to the wins in the Conference League, the Flamengo idol also earned a 1-0 victory over Le Havre at the Stade Océane in the opening round of Ligue 1. One of Monaco’s goals this season is to secure a spot in next year’s Champions League.

In the 2024 season, the coach won the Copa do Brasil against Atlético-MG. Then, in 2025, he lifted the Campeonato Carioca, the Brasileirão, the Supercopa do Brasil and the Libertadores.

In this way, Filipe Luís had a contract with Rubro-Negro until December 2025. After lengthy negotiations, the board of the Gávea club, led by Bap, reached an agreement with the coach. However, a few months later, it decided to break the deal and end the contract in March.

What is the author’s opinion on Filipe Luís’s start at Monaco?

“The run is tough. Besides Olympique, Filipe Luís will have PSG next. So now it’s the real deal. If the idol gets through unbeaten, he can handle any other challenge the season presents,” said João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla.
