Varela used social media to say goodbye to Filipe Luís

The Flamengo bid farewell to coach Filipe Luís after dismissing him in the early hours of this Tuesday (03). Thus, after Jorginho, Arrascaeta, and Bruno Henrique, it was now the turn of the right-back Guilherme Varela to send a message to the former Flamengo player.

“An idol in every sense. Very professional and dedicated to work. You will always be a reference and will always be Flamengo. We love you, Filipinho”, said Guillermo and Varela in a post published on Instagram, this Tuesday (03).

HOW WAS FILIPE LUÍS' DISMISSAL?

Filipe Luís held a press conference as usual on the last Monday (02), after the historic 8-0 victory over Madureira, in the semifinals of the Carioca. However, in the early hours of Tuesday (03), the club announced the coach's departure.

HOW WERE FILIPE LUÍS AND VARELA AT FLAMENGO?

Varela became a key player for Flamengo during the period when Filipe Luís was in charge. This is because the right-back became an undisputed starter and actively participated in the titles of the Copa do Brasil, Campeonato Carioca, Brasileirão, and Libertadores.

AND NOW, FLAMENGO?

Now, Flamengo is negotiating the hiring of Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim and already has an agreement in progress. The red-black team had a meeting with the foreign coach last Monday (02). Thus, the official announcement is expected in the coming days.
