Filipe Luís linked with Benfica | OneFootball

The name of Filipe Luís has been gaining traction on the international market, now emerging as one of the options on the table for the managerial position at Benfica, at a time when José Mourinho’s possible departure to Real Madrid remains on the table.

According to the Brazilian press, namely RTI Esporte, the 40-year-old Brazilian coach is seen as an option to succeed the Portuguese manager, having been available on the market since leaving Flamengo last March.

Filipe Luís began his career as a head coach in 2024 and quickly collected major titles in Brazil, leading ‘Mengão’ to victory in the Copa Libertadores, the Brasileirão, the Copa do Brasil and the Super Cup, results that strengthened his reputation as one of the most promising coaches.

According to the same report, the coach’s profile is appreciated within Benfica’s structure, especially because of his age, playing style and growth potential, making him a possible solution for a continuity project should the change in the technical leadership be confirmed.

Even so, there are no negotiations currently underway, with Benfica keeping several options open for the future of the bench, in a scenario directly conditioned by José Mourinho’s final decision and Real Madrid’s interest, which continues to be the main source of instability.
