2 Mexican clubs bid for Filipe Luís, ex-Flamengo man responds | OneFootball

Flamengo fired Filipe Luís in early March

Coach Filipe Luís, currently without a club, is even on the radar of Mexican teams. That is because Club América and Monterrey (MEX) made offers for the coach, who was fired by Flamengo in early March.

However, the former full-back turned them down on the grounds that both teams already have their respective managers. In addition, the former Flamengo man has never hidden his desire to coach a European team. The information comes from Diario Marca, in Spain.

Does Filipe Luís disapprove of what Flamengo did?

The Most Beloved was unhappy with the start of 2026. So the Rubro-Negro decided to change coaches, but before dismissing Filipe Luís, Fla reached an agreement with Leonardo Jardim in order to fire the previous manager.

Therefore, by turning down two teams because both already have coaches, it is possible to say that the Brazilian does not agree with that hiring model. Mengo fired the club idol after a year and a half, during which he won seven titles.

Who are the coaches of the Mexican teams?

Brazilian André Jardine’s América side sits in 8th place with 17 points from 12 matches played. Monterrey, meanwhile, fired former Flamengo man Domènec Torrent in February this year and has Nicolás Sánchez as interim coach, sitting 9th with 14 points.

How is Flamengo doing without Filipe Luís?

While Filipe Luís looks for an opportunity, Leonardo Jardim’s Mengão remains unbeaten. Fla has drawn just once in five matches, scoring nine goals under the Portuguese manager.
