Cruzeiro try to sign Filipe Luís, get response from ex-Flamengo boss | OneFootball

Filipe Luís left Flamengo on March 3rd

Cruzeiro continues to keep an eye on coach Tite’s situation after a poor start in the Brazilian Championship, in which they are currently in the relegation zone. As a result, the team from Minas Gerais is seeking to hire Filipe Luís, former Flamengo coach. However, the coach has turned down the club’s offer.

In fact, Cruzeiro began talks with Filipe Luís to replace Tite, who is expected to leave the helm of the Minas Gerais club. Nevertheless, the former left-back rejected the possibility of taking charge of the Belo Horizonte team. This information comes from journalist Jorge Nicola.

WHAT IS FILIPE LUÍS’ SITUATION?

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 command 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’.

AND WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO?

Flamengo, now with Leonardo Jardim in charge, continues to recover this season. O Mais Querido defeated Botafogo 3-0 last Saturday (14th), at Nilton Santos Stadium, in a match valid for the sixth round of the Brazilian Championship
