Filipe Luís’ agent reveals future of ex-Flamengo boss: “He’s heading to…” | OneFootball

What is Filipe Luís’s Next Step?

Filipe Luís’s name started being speculated at Cruzeiro right after Tite’s dismissal. In light of these rumors, Jorge Mendes, the coach’s agent, confirmed what the former Flamengo manager has decided for his career’s next step.

“Filipe Luís is going to Europe. He is thinking about and preparing for his next project,” said Jorge Mendes in an interview with ‘GE’. In addition to this statement, the coach’s agent said that the former Flamengo manager will soon travel to Europe to explore options in the market. In other words, Filipe does not plan to take over any Brazilian team at this moment.

IS CRUZEIRO TARGETING FILIPE LUÍS?

As soon as Cruzeiro dismissed Tite last Sunday (15th), Filipe Luís’s name emerged as a possible option for the head coach position. However, it’s worth noting that so far the team from Minas Gerais has not received a response from the former left-back regarding this matter.

Besides Filipe Luís, Cruzeiro is also looking into the current situation of Artur Jorge, coach of Al Rayyan (QAT). Thus, the tendency is for the Belo Horizonte club to announce the team’s new coach before the next FIFA international break.

WHAT HAPPENED TO FILIPE LUÍS AT FLAMENGO?

Coach Filipe Luís was dismissed by Flamengo at the beginning of March after the big win over Madureira in the semifinal of the Carioca. Wasting no time, the Rubro-Negro acted quickly and announced the arrival of Leonardo Jardim. So far, the Portuguese manager remains undefeated at the helm of Mengão.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?
