Cruzeiro enlist ex-Flamengo to help lure Filipe Luís for Tite’s role | OneFootball

Tite left Cruzeiro after a 3-3 draw with Vasco on Sunday (15)

After a poor start in the Brazilian Championship and the recent defeat to Flamengo, Tite could not withstand the pressure and left the helm of Cruzeiro. Former coach of Rubro-Negro, Filipe Luís emerges as the ‘plan A’ for the celestial board to take over the team.

According to journalist Raisa Simplicio, Cruzeiro intends to try to convince Filipe Luís to take charge of the Minas Gerais team. For this, the board relies on the efforts of executive director Bruno Spindel, considered a key figure in the discussions. After all, the director worked for several years at Flamengo and knows the coach well.

It is also worth noting that Filipe Luís already knows and has worked with some players from the Cruzeiro squad. Among them are goalkeeper Matheus Cunha and midfielder Gerson.

WHAT IS FILIPE LUÍS'S SITUATION?

Filipe Luís was dismissed from Flamengo on March 3, right after the 8-0 thrashing of Madureira. The decision, made by president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap) and communicated by José Boto, ended the coach's cycle with 101 games and 63 victories.

Currently, Filipe Luís is taking a cautious approach regarding the next step in his career. The coach is not in a hurry to return to Brazilian football, as he prioritizes the possibility of starting a project in Europe and awaits potential offers from the ‘Old Continent’.
