German club sack manager, eye up Filipe Luís, says journalist | OneFootball

Filipe Luís has a contract with Flamengo until December this year

Bayer Leverkusen of Germany has dismissed the Dutch coach Erik ten Hag after only three official matches this season. As a result, looking ahead to the rest of the year, the German team has placed Filipe Luís from Flamengo on their list of possible targets for the coaching position.

According to German journalist Patrick Scherer, an expert on Bayer Leverkusen (GER), Filipe Luís is highly regarded at the Bundesliga club. Sporting director Simon Rolfes considers the Flamengo coach an ‘exciting’ but risky option.

Therefore, Bayer Leverkusen is expected to opt for a coach who already has experience in European football. The club recently negotiated Xabi Alonso with Real Madrid (ESP) and had hired Erik ten Hag due to his work at Ajax (NED) and Manchester United (ENG).

WHAT IS FILIPE LUÍS’ SITUATION?

Filipe Luís has a contract with Flamengo until December this year. In addition, the rubro-negro coach has a contract renewal offer on the table. Therefore, it depends solely on the professional to decide whether to extend the contract for another season.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

With Filipe Luís in charge, Flamengo will only play again after the FIFA break, at the beginning of September. The rubro-negro team takes the field on the 14th of this month, against Juventude, away from home, at 4pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
