Flamengo president: "Why not bring in Klopp?" if Filipe Luís leaves | OneFootball

Is Filipe Luís leaving Flamengo?

Filipe Luís has already emphasized several times his desire to become the coach of a major European team. With that in mind, Bap, president of Flamengo, joked about the possibility of going after Jurgen Klopp if the current rubro-negro coach were to leave.

— I believe that, just as Filipe can and has every right to think about Europe, why not have a European coach at Flamengo? If I can bring Lucas Paquetá, why couldn’t I bring Klopp? Why couldn’t I bring another coach? — he said, before concluding:

— Nowadays, what can happen is this: just as Filipe can say no to a European club because he doesn’t want to leave for just any European club, but rather for a specific country, a European coach could also say he doesn’t want to leave Europe for Flamengo. But obviously, we will have the financial and economic means. The world is changing very fast. I work day after day to make the decision to leave Flamengo difficult for those who are here, and easy for those who want to come — he said, in an interview with the Spanish newspaper AS.
