Flamengo agree with Filipe Luís, but staff stall contract renewal | OneFootball

How are the negotiations for Filipe Luís' renewal with Flamengo going?

Flamengo has taken further steps towards renewing the contract of coach Filipe Luís. After weeks of negotiation, the coach accepted the salary offered by the red-black board. However, a second point is 'stalling' the agreement: the remuneration of assistant Ivan Palanco and trainer Diogo Linhares.

This is because Filipe Luís believes that the salaries of Ivan Palanco and Diogo Linhares should be discussed separately. However, Flamengo believes that the amounts should come from the coach's remuneration package. This information was initially provided by influencer Guilherme Flazoeiro and confirmed by the Coluna do Fla report.

How was the agreement between Flamengo and Filipe Luís?

After several proposals from both parties, coach Filipe Luís accepted the latest offer presented by Flamengo. Despite the salary being lower than what the coach desired, the commander 'enriched' the agreement with performance bonuses and a market-accessible termination clause in a two-year contract.

It is worth noting that Filipe Luís' contract with Flamengo is valid until December 31, 2025. In other words, with four days remaining until the end of the coach's contract, the Most Beloved is 'racing against time' to finalize the adjustments and announce the new agreement with the commander.

Does Flamengo have a 'plan B' in case Filipe Luís leaves?

Despite remaining focused on renewing Filipe Luís' contract, Flamengo is considering other market alternatives in case they do not reach an agreement with the coach. Thus, Artur Jorge, coach of Al Rayyan (CAT), and Thiago Motta, former coach of Juventus (ITA), are options for the Red-Black.

What are Flamengo's numbers for the 2025 season?

Flamengo concluded the 2025 season with 78 matches played, accumulating 49 wins, 18 draws, and 11 losses. Additionally, Filipe Luís' team won six titles during the year: Supercopa do Brasil, Carioca, Brasileirão, Libertadores, Americas Derby, and Challenger Cup.
