Negotiations to Renew Contract Are ‘Stalled’ Between Flamengo and Filipe Luís

Flamengo remains focused on renewing Filipe Luís’s contract for the 2026 season. With only a few days left until the coach’s contract expires, the club’s board has scheduled a new meeting with the manager to resume negotiations.

According to information from ‘ESPN’, Flamengo and Filipe Luís will have a new meeting this week to move negotiations forward. Since the coach is currently enjoying a vacation in Spain, the meeting will take place virtually. However, Mengão is in no rush during these talks.

Why Isn’t Flamengo in a Hurry to Renew with Filipe Luís?

Flamengo believes it has three ‘trump cards’ to advance negotiations to renew with Filipe Luís. After all, the coach has not yet received any official offers from other clubs. Additionally, Mengão believes that the South American market does not pose a threat to the Rubro-Negro.

Finally, Filipe Luís does not yet have the necessary experience to obtain a valid UEFA license to work in European football. In other words, Flamengo does not feel threatened by potential interest from European teams.

What Is Filipe Luís’s Current Situation?

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

Taking over as Flamengo’s manager in October 2024, Filipe Luís has already won seven titles. 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, the Brasileirão, the Dérbi das Américas, and the Challenger Cup.
