Cruzeiro decided to dismiss Tite after the 3-3 draw with Vasco, on the night of last Sunday (15th). As a result, the team from Minas Gerais is seeking to hire Filipe Luís, former Flamengo coach.
Still without a win in the Brasileirão, Cruzeiro tried to support the former coach of Flamengo and the Brazilian National Team. However, with the team in 19th place in the Brasileirão, the situation became unsustainable.
Thus, Filipe Luís has become one of the main targets for the team from Minas Gerais. However, it is worth noting that the coach recently dismissed by Flamengo has no intention of taking over another club at the moment. Despite this, Filipe's staff is willing to listen to a possible proposal, in order to keep the doors open.
Filipe Luís was dismissed from Flamengo on March 3rd, after the historic 8-0 thrashing against Madureira. The coach could not withstand the poor start to the season and ended up leaving the helm of the red-and-black club.
However, Filipe Luís is in no hurry to return to work, especially in Brazilian football. That's because the former Flamengo coach aims to start projects in Europe and is waiting for offers from the 'Old Continent'.
Flamengo, now under the command of Leonardo Jardim, continues to recover this season. O Mais Querido beat Botafogo 3-0 last Saturday (14th), at Estádio Nilton Santos, in a match valid for the sixth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro
