French club sets deadline to announce ex-Flamengo Filipe Luís | OneFootball

What will be Filipe Luís’s next team in his coaching career?

Monaco (FRA) has moved closer to signing Filipe Luís, former Flamengo coach. The French club has even set a deadline to announce the manager. The expectation is that he will be officially unveiled by this Saturday (06).

It is important to note that Monaco is trying to have Filipe Luís’s CBF PRO License recognized as equivalent by UEFA. Therefore, if it is not approved, the French club will have to pay 25,000 euros (R$ 147,000) per match to have the former Flamengo man on the touchline.

Why doesn’t he have a UEFA license?

This is because, in order to obtain the European certification, it is necessary to work as head coach of a senior team for three years. Filipe Luís spent a year and a half in charge of Flamengo. Therefore, the former Flamengo coach needs another year and a half as a manager to obtain the UEFA Pro license.

What was his journey at Flamengo like?

Filipe Luís took his first steps as a football coach with Flamengo’s U-17 team in 2024. Shortly afterward, he moved up to the U-20s and won the Club World Cup title in that category against Olympiacos (GRE) at the Maracanã.

Because of his excellent work in the youth ranks, Filipe Luís took over Flamengo’s senior team in 2024 and went on to win the Copa do Brasil. Then, in 2025, the coach lifted the trophies for the Libertadores, the Carioca, and the Brasileirão.
