Monaco (FRA) is currently managed by former Flamengo coach Filipe Luís

Monaco (FRA), currently managed by Filipe Luís, former Flamengo coach, made a point of praising Mengão. Through social media, the club from the Principality highlighted Rubro-Negro’s lead in the Brasileirão. In this way, the post reinforced the strong form of both teams, linked by the Brazilian coach’s recent spell.

WHAT DID MONACO SAY ABOUT FLAMENGO?

“Is this what you call ‘business as usual,’ Nação?”, wrote Monaco on X, formerly Twitter. In the photo, the Brasileirão and Ligue 1 tables appear, led by Flamengo and Monaco, respectively. In addition, a photo of Filipe Luís illustrates the post. As a result, the Monegasque club’s joke quickly went viral among fans of both teams.

ARE FLAMENGO TOP OF THE BRASILEIRÃO?

Last Sunday (06), Flamengo overtook Palmeiras in the Brasileirão table and moved into first place. The lead came after Rubro-Negro’s 1-0 win over Remo at Mangueirão Stadium, with a goal from Samuel Lino. As a result, Leonardo Jardim’s team reached 54 points.

Meanwhile, Palmeiras were held to a goalless draw by Botafogo and now have 53 points. This means just one point separates the two teams in the direct battle for the national title.

ARE MONACO TOP OF THE FRENCH LEAGUE?

Monaco are the outright leaders of Ligue 1, with three wins and nine points. Under Filipe Luís, the French side beat PSG (FRA) 2-1 in the last round at Parc des Princes in Paris.

IS FILIPE LUÍS UNBEATEN IN CHARGE OF MONACO?

Filipe Luís took over Monaco in July 2026, shortly before the start of the European season. Since then, the Principality side have remained unbeaten, with a 100% record. The win over PSG also had extra meaning for the Brazilian coach. That is because Filipe Luís became the first manager in the history of the Red and Whites to win his first five games in charge.

After the match, PSG coach Luis Enrique praised Filipe Luís. However, the Spanish manager had already spoken very highly of the Brazilian before the clash in the French capital. “I have to say Monaco defended very well. I liked how they played. They are top of the table, congratulations to them and to Filipe Luís,” said Luis Enrique.
