Rossi on Jardim’s Flamengo start, compares him to Filipe Luís | OneFootball

Leonardo Jardim debuted with a title as Flamengo's coach

Leonardo Jardim made his debut on the right foot as coach of Flamengo. After all, this Sunday (08), the Rubro-Negro was crowned Carioca champion against Fluminense. During the State Championship award ceremony, Agustín Rossi compared the Portuguese coach’s work to that of coach Filipe Luís.

— Actually, in the beginning, Leonardo Jardim’s ideas and those of the coaching staff have a lot of similarities with several things we were already doing. He even told us that his idea hasn’t changed. We’ve already done this in other games. Of course, we’ve only had three or four days of work so far — he said, before concluding:

— We had today’s training, we’ll have tomorrow’s training, and on Wednesday, there’s already another game. So we’re adapting to his ideas, trying to do our best on the field, because in the end, what defines everything are the results. We hope the results are good so we can achieve many things by the end of the year. There’s still a long way to go, the year is just beginning, and the group is prepared for everything — concluded Rossi.

What are Filipe Luís’s numbers at Flamengo?

In 101 matches as coach of Flamengo, Filipe Luís has 64 wins, 22 draws, and 15 losses, with a 70% success rate. In addition, the young manager has won seven titles: Copa do Brasil, Supercopa do Brasil, Carioca, Brasileirão, Libertadores, Derby das Américas, and Challenger Cup.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Leonardo Jardim on the sidelines, Flamengo returns its focus to the Brasileirão. Thus, this Wednesday (11), Leonardo Jardim’s team faces Cruzeiro at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the national championship.
