Filipe Luís on countdown to historic milestone with Flamengo | OneFootball

On September 30, Filipe Luís will complete one year at the helm of Flamengo's professional team

Flamengo left August behind with a 1-1 draw against Grêmio, last Sunday (31), for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. However, as the new month began, Filipe Luís enters a 'countdown' to hit a historic mark at Fla.

That's because, on September 30, Filipe Luís will complete one year as coach of the professional team of Flamengo. Until then, however, the coach will have five matches with the Most Beloved: three for the Brazilian Championship and two for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.

How was the beginning of Filipe Luís's journey?

Firstly, it's important to remember that Filipe Luís began his journey as a football coach in Flamengo's U-17 team. In the category, the young coach won 11 victories and only two losses in 13 matches in charge of the team.

However, after winning the Rio Cup for the U-17, Filipe Luís had the opportunity to take over Flamengo's U-20 team. At the time, Mário Jorge left the Rubro-Negro to sign with another club and left the position. Thus, 'Filipinho' took the spot.

In the U-20 team, Filipe Luís led Flamengo to the 2024 Club World Cup title. Under the coach's command, the Most Beloved won the unprecedented trophy against Olympiacos (GRE) by 2-1, coming from behind, at Maracanã. In addition, the coach left the category with 11 victories, two draws, and only four losses.

And how was the arrival to the professional team?

In summary, after a great performance in the youth categories, Filipe Luís became the coach of Flamengo's professional team, following the dismissal of Tite. Thus, the coach took over Fla on September 30, 2024. Since then, the commander has been in charge of 64 matches of the Rubro-Negro. Of these, he won 43, drew 15, and lost six. Finally, the Most Beloved scored 116 goals and conceded 36.

In addition, Filipe Luís has already won four titles as Flamengo's professional coach. They were: Copa do Brasil of 2024, Supercopa do Brasil, Campeonato Carioca and Taça Guanabara of 2025. Currently, Fla leads the Brasileirão 2025, with 47 points, in addition to being alive in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores of America.
