Flamengo lost to Lanús (ARG) 3-2 last Thursday (26th) and ended up as runners-up in the Recopa Sudamericana at Maracanã. Despite the negative moment, the red-and-black board is keeping Filipe Luís in his position and continues to trust the coach.
Even with internal and external discontent, Filipe Luís still has the support of the football board and the confidence that his work will improve. There are other priorities this season and time for the coach to regain his prestige. This information comes from GE.
At this moment, Flamengo does not see a change in command as the solution to the problems the team has been facing at the start of the season. Thus, Filipe Luís remains in charge for the rest of the season, with a packed calendar ahead.
Flamengo is currently only 11th in the Brazilian Championship and finished as runners-up in the Supercopa do Brasil to Corinthians. In addition, they lost the Recopa Sudamericana final to Lanús. It’s also worth mentioning the below-expected start in the Carioca.
Thus, Filipe Luís’s Flamengo continues with a busy schedule and will have the chance to secure a spot in the final of the Campeonato Carioca next Monday (2nd). That’s because Mengo faces Madureira at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the second match.
