Monaco chief cites Filipe Luís’s Flamengo work in explaining appointment | OneFootball

Filipe Luís is unbeaten as Monaco manager, and executive Thiago Scuro has discussed the decision to appoint him.

"For me, the first point is what he managed to do with Flamengo in terms of the team’s behaviour, how he showed he reads the game and his ability to build play with the players he had. Not in terms of trophies, because I think that is a consequence." He told Sport Market Makers.

"We decided to start a new cycle at Monaco this year and we had a few conversations until we reached an agreement. He is very easy to work with, very easy to communicate with day to day, he has already impacted the club’s culture."

"He is a very ambitious coach with a very clear game idea, and he also has very good professionals around him. He is obsessed with winning, which means he can adapt to change the game’s dynamics."

Filipe Luís was appointed in July 2026. He has overseen seven competitive matches, recording six wins and one draw across the league and the UEFA Conference League.

The run includes a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over PSG. Monaco top the French league with 15 points from five rounds.

He left Flamengo in March after a poor start to the year. This is his first job outside Brazil, having managed 101 games for Flamengo with 63 wins, 23 draws and 15 defeats, a 70.6% return, and titles in the Libertadores, Copa do Brasil, Brasileiro, Carioca and Supercopa do Brasil.
