Filipe Luís explains why he turned down an offer to stay at Flamengo | OneFootball

After Flamengo's victory over Juventude in the 2025 Brasileirão, coach Filipe Luís commented on Fenerbahce's interest in signing him.

Recognition and focus on Flamengo

The coach highlighted that recognition from other clubs is positive, but emphasized his commitment to the Rio club and its players.

“First, when other clubs call, it makes me happy, because it means there is recognition for the day-to-day work. But it wasn’t the right time,” he said.

Option to renew

Filipe Luís has a contract with Flamengo until the end of the year. The intention of the Rio club is to renew with the coach for two more seasons.

“My objective is clear, I know what I want for my career and, obviously, I have a commitment to the players and to Flamengo,” the coach added.
