European club makes ex-Flamengo's Filipe Luís top target | OneFootball

Which team in Germany wants to sign coach Filipe Luís?

Coach Filipe Luís remains available on the market after being dismissed by Flamengo at the start of the season. Already looking ahead to the 2026/27 season, Bayer Leverkusen (GER) want to sign the former Rubro-Negro boss.

According to information published by ‘Sky Sports’, Filipe Luís is the favorite to become Bayer’s new head coach. Negotiations between the coach and the German club are already underway.

At the moment, Filipe Luís is the leading candidate to take over as Bayer’s coach. However, if the former Flamengo manager does not reach an agreement, the German club is working with ‘Plan B’ and ‘Plan C’ options for the position.

HOW WAS FILIPE LUÍS’ SPELL AS FLAMENGO COACH?

After ‘hanging up his boots’ at the end of 2023, Filipe Luís began taking his first steps as a football coach with Flamengo’s U-17 team in 2024. In his very first experience, the coach won the Taça Rio title against Vasco at São Januário.

After that, Filipe Luís moved up to the U-20s and won the Club World Cup title for the age group against Olympiacos (GRE) at the Maracanã. Finally, the coach took charge of the senior team in the closing stretch of 2024 and managed to win the Copa do Brasil. Then in 2025, it was magical, as he led the team to the Libertadores and the Brasileirão titles. However, in March, the coach was relieved of his duties.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While Filipe Luís decides his future, the Flamengo squad is preparing for its last commitment before the World Cup. On Saturday (30), Mengo face Coritiba in a match valid for the Brasileirão.
