What Was the Atmosphere at Flamengo at the Time?

Firstly, it's worth remembering that Filipe Luís took over Flamengo during a crisis. At the time, under Tite's command, the Most Beloved was far from competing for the Brazilian Championship title and had been eliminated from the Libertadores.

Thus, Filipe Luís did not take over Flamengo in a celebratory moment. However, the young coach was not shaken by the atmosphere at Ninho do Urubu and immediately showed his work, winning the debut match leading the team.

What Was Filipe Luís's First Victory?

Filipe Luís's first game with Flamengo occurred at an important moment in the season. This is because the Most Beloved was in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil and had a match scheduled against Corinthians at Maracanã on October 2, 2024.

Thus, the red-black fans attended Maracanã to support the team in another Copa do Brasil semifinal and, of course, to honor Filipe Luís. The score ended 1-0 for the Red-Black, but the performance of the Most Beloved impressed the fans.

Shortly after, in the return leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinals, Flamengo drew 0-0 with Corinthians but advanced to the finals of the national competition. Later, they won the title against Atlético-MG, 4-1 on aggregate, at Arena MRV.

How Has Filipe Luís's Performance Been at Flamengo?

Since then, Filipe Luís has fluctuated the level of play of Flamengo. However, during this one-year period, the coach has won three more titles. In the 2025 season, the coach lifted the trophies of the Campeonato Carioca, the Taça Guanabara, and the Supercopa do Brasil.

And Now?

Now, this Tuesday (30), Flamengo will honor Filipe Luís for the ‘anniversary’ of one year leading the professional team. Before taking over the main team, the coach led the under-17 and under-20 categories of Fla.

Finally, under Filipe Luís's command, Flamengo prepares to face Cruzeiro starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (02). Thus, at Maracanã, the ‘direct confrontation’ will be valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão.
