European club eyes move for ex-Flamengo man Filipe Luís | OneFootball

Filipe Luís remains without a club since leaving Flamengo at the beginning of March

Filipe Luís was dismissed from Flamengo on March 3, after the match against Madureira in the semifinals of the Campeonato Carioca. Available on the market, the former Flamengo coach is a target for Chelsea (ENG) for the continuation of the season.

According to the profile ‘Topskills Sports UK’, Chelsea is internally considering the possibility of dismissing Liam Rosenior to facilitate the hiring of coach Filipe Luís, former Flamengo. Thus, the former Flamengo coach could become the third coach for the English team in just under a year.

However, the immediate focus of Chelsea's management is not on dismissing Liam Rosenior at this point in the season. Despite this, the coach is under pressure due to the need for a better performance on the field.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION WITH CHELSEA, FILIPE LUÍS, AND FLAMENGO?

Chelsea dismissed Enzo Maresca at the beginning of the year, still in the first days of January. However, the team showed a sudden improvement but then returned to negative results. Currently, it occupies the sixth position in the Premier League and has been eliminated from the Champions League.

Filipe Luís, on the other hand, remains without a club since his dismissal from Flamengo. The coach became a target for Cruzeiro for the continuation of the season. However, the former Mengo coach emphasized that he intends to focus on a job in European football and ruled out the possibility of taking over the Minas Gerais team.

As soon as they dismissed Filipe Luís, Flamengo quickly signed with Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim, former Cruzeiro, who was unemployed. The foreign coach has already led the Most Beloved in five matches, with four wins, one draw, and a title in the Campeonato Carioca.

DOES FILIPE LUÍS HAVE A HISTORY WITH CHELSEA?

Filipe Luís, as a player, was with Chelsea from June 2014 to July 2015. During this period, the former left-back built a good relationship. In fact, the coach even had contacts with BlueCo, the company that manages the English team and Strasbourg (FRA).
