🚨 Breaking news: Filipe Luis extends his contract with Flamengo | OneFootball

The story of Filipe Luís as the coach of Flamengo is not over.

Flamengo announced this Monday (29) that the coach has renewed his contract until the end of 2027.

Negotiations had been prolonged over the past few weeks due to the demands of the commander.

Flamengo even scoured the market in search of candidates for Plan B, such as Artur Jorge, formerly of Botafogo, and Leonardo Jardim, formerly of Cruzeiro.

In 2025, Filipe Luís led Flamengo to the titles of the Campeonato Carioca, the Supercopa de Brasil, the Campeonato Brasileiro, and the Copa Libertadores, as well as the Derby of the Americas and the Challenger Cup.

See the official statement:

The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo announces that it has reached an agreement to renew the contract of coach Filipe Luís until December 2027.

“The positive outcome was only possible because there was, from both sides, a genuine desire for the project to continue, as well as a joint willingness to converge interests and build a balanced and sustainable agreement that met the aspirations of the coach, but also the governance policies of the club established by BAP (Luiz Eduardo Baptista, president of Flamengo),” commented José Boto, the club's executive director of football.

The renewal symbolizes the continuation of a long history between Filipe Luís and Flamengo. A Flamengo fan since childhood, the coach has forged a deep emotional connection with the club, which was strengthened on the field when he wore the jersey as a player and continues now on the sidelines, leading the team during one of the most victorious eras in its history.

With the renewal of Filipe Luís's contract, Flamengo reaffirms its conviction in the continuity of the work being done and will work firmly so that the coming years are marked by even more successes, professional growth, and achievements.
