European interest? Filipe Luís speaks out on offers to leave Flamengo | OneFootball

Did Filipe Luís receive an offer to leave Flamengo?

Filipe Luís had a historic performance as the coach of Flamengo in 2025. After all, in his first full year as a professional coach, the Rubro-Negro won six titles. With the season's end, the coach opened up about offers to leave Mengão.

— I didn't receive any offers. My mind was focused on this game and this final. It always was. What I told my players at halftime was not to change the way we play. Not to give up our style. To take possession from them and keep it with us -, commented Filipe Luís.

What is Filipe Luís's situation?

It is worth noting that the Rubro-Negro board began talks for Filipe Luís's renewal a few months ago. However, amid the competition of the Libertadores, the Club World Cup, and the Brasileirão, the coach preferred to focus on Flamengo's performance on the field.

Taking command of Flamengo in October 2024, Filipe Luís has accumulated seven titles. Last year, the coach won the Copa do Brasil by defeating Atlético-MG. Additionally, this season, Mengão won the Supercopa do Brasil, the Carioca, the Libertadores, the Brasileirão, the Americas Derby, and the Challenger Cup.

When will Flamengo and Filipe Luís resume talks?

Thus, the expectation is that Flamengo and Filipe Luís will resume contract renewal negotiations next week. This is because both the coach and José Boto are on vacation and have traveled to Spain and Portugal, respectively, to enjoy their holiday period.

What are Flamengo's next steps?

After the World Cup, part of the Flamengo squad arrived in Rio de Janeiro on the night of Thursday (18), at Galeão Airport. Now, the players will enjoy their vacation period before Mengão returns for the 2026 season.
