Flamengo agree with Artur Jorge if Filipe Luís deal falls through | OneFootball

Artur Jorge agreed to take over Flamengo if ‘necessary’

While Filipe Luís’s contract renewal with Flamengo was initially considered ‘natural’, the situation has now entered a state of alert. With just four days left before the coach’s contract expires, Fla is working on a ‘plan B’.

Thus, Flamengo has reached a verbal agreement with Artur Jorge. Currently, the coach is in charge of Al-Rayyan, in Qatar. Journalist Rudy Galetti was the first to report the news. Additionally, the Portuguese professional has made himself available to take over at Fla if necessary.

Is Artur Jorge the ‘plan B’?

Despite the ‘verbal agreement’ with Artur Jorge, Flamengo still prioritizes renewing with Filipe Luís. However, the Most Beloved and the current coach have not reached a consensus regarding the manager’s salary, as he is seeking a high wage.

Has Artur Jorge had experience in Brazil?

Yes! That’s because, in 2024, the Portuguese coach won the Libertadores and the Brasileirão with Botafogo. However, after that, the manager left the club. Now, after two seasons in Qatar, the 53-year-old coach has led 35 matches and achieved 21 victories. Currently, Al-Rayyan is in third place in the local league.

And the talks with Filipe Luís?

Flamengo has been discussing Filipe Luís’s renewal since April of this year. However, the salary issue remains an obstacle. The coach had one of the lowest salaries in the Série A of the Brasileirão and is hoping for a raise beyond what Fla had anticipated.
