Libertadores champion Filipe Luís lands fourth trophy as Flamengo boss | OneFootball

With the victory over Palmeiras this Saturday, Flamengo was crowned continental champion for the fourth time in its history. The Libertadores tetracampeonato, besides being very important for the Rubro-Negro, also marks the fourth trophy for coach Filipe Luís, who has been leading the Carioca team since September 2024, after Tite's departure.

Last season, Filipe Luís took over Flamengo in fourth place in the Brasileirão, eliminated from the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil semifinals. Far from the leaders Botafogo and Palmeiras, the young coach focused his attention on the national knockout competition and won it, beating Corinthians in the semifinals and Atlético-MG in the final.

In February this year, Filipe Luís' Flamengo defeated Botafogo 3-1 and won the Supercopa do Brasil, the coach's second professional title. Still in the first half of the year, the former full-back led the Rubro-Negro to the Carioca title, beating Fluminense in the final.

Now, with the Libertadores title, Filipe Luís reaches his fourth title in 425 days at the helm of Flamengo, with an average of one trophy every 106 days. This number could become even more impressive if the Rubro-Negro secures the Campeonato Brasileiro title. If the Carioca team defeats Ceará this Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, it will confirm its eighth Brazilian title and Filipe Luís' fifth trophy.

Titles from the youth ranks

In 2024, Filipe Luís took his first steps as a coach by taking charge of Flamengo's under-17 team. In nine months, he won two trophies: the Rio Cup in January and, in August, already leading the under-20 team, he won the Intercontinental Cup.

Considering his career as a youth and main team coach, along with his time as a player, Filipe Luís reached his 16th title with Flamengo. The former full-back arrived in Rio de Janeiro in 2019, retired at the club in 2023, and has remained with the team since then.
