Portuguese coach on Filipe Luís at Flamengo, likens him to 2024 surprise | OneFootball

Artur Jorge praised Filipe Luís, current coach of Flamengo

The Flamengo of 2025 was unstoppable, with four titles won in the current season, records broken, high-quality football, and enchanting Brazil. Thus, Artur Jorge, former coach of Botafogo, analyzed the work of Filipe Luís and made a comparison with the 2024 team.

— This year I was far away, but I spent many late nights watching Brasileirão matches. I feel comfortable saying that Filipe Luís is a coach I admire. He won the competitions he played in because of the work he did — began Artur Jorge, in an interview with ‘GE’.

— He is a coach who, like me, started out in the club’s youth system and in a short period managed to stand out, certainly due to his competence and quality. He is from a new generation of highly valuable Brazilian coaches — highlighted the coach of Al Rayyan (QAT).

DID HE COMPARE THE 2024 BOTAFOGO WITH THE 2025 FLAMENGO?

The Flamengo team was champion of the Brazilian Championship this season, just as Botafogo was last year. Thus, Artur Jorge made a comparison between the two teams and commented on the difference.

— We finished the championship without losing the last 16 matches. I believe Flamengo lost three of those last 16. What do I mean by this? The work. The consistency. Filipe comes with 15 games from the previous year and continues into 2025 with his team — he concluded.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY AGAIN?

Therefore, Flamengo is going after its fifth title of the current season. This Wednesday (10th), the team led by Filipe Luís faces Cruz Azul (MEX), at 2pm (Brasília time), in the quarterfinals of the Intercontinental Cup, in Doha, Qatar.
