Chelsea weigh up move for ex-Flamengo man Filipe Luís | OneFootball

Will Filipe Luís be Chelsea’s (ENG) new head coach?

Chelsea (ENG) are not in a good moment this season and, therefore, decided to sack head coach Liam Rosenior this Wednesday (22). Filipe Luís, former Flamengo player, is one of the candidates to take over the job at the end of the European season.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Calum McFarlane will be Chelsea’s interim head coach until the end of the season. Meanwhile, the English board will assess the signing of a new manager, and Filipe Luís is on the shortlist.

Why did Chelsea sack the coach?

In addition to losing 8-2 on aggregate to PSG (FRA) in the Champions League, Chelsea have suffered seven defeats in their last eight matches. Another important point is that the English side failed to score in any of their last six losses.

Could Filipe Luís coach Chelsea?

No! Filipe Luís has still not completed the CBF Academy PRO License, despite already holding the A and B Licenses. The former Flamengo coach therefore still does not have the necessary experience required by UEFA to work in Europe. As a result, he needs to ‘race against time’ to secure permission before a possible agreement with the English club.

What about Flamengo?

Currently, Leonardo Jardim is Flamengo’s head coach. The Portuguese manager took over Filipe Luís’s position and has achieved good results so far. At the moment, the Rubro-Negro side have eight wins, one draw, and one loss.
