Jardim repeats Flamengo feat after 8 months, eyes Filipe Luís record;why | OneFootball

What achievement did Leonardo Jardim reach at Flamengo?

Flamengo is still riding high under the command of Leonardo Jardim. After the 2-0 win over Bahia on Sunday (19), the Rubro-Negro hopes to keep the good run going against Vitória in the Copa do Brasil. In addition, Mengão has now recorded five straight wins again after eight months, and now the Portuguese coach is eyeing Filipe Luís’ record.

That is because Flamengo had not put together five straight wins since August 2025. On that occasion, under Filipe Luís, Fla racked up six consecutive victories over Atlético-MG, Mirassol, Internacional (three times), and Vitória. That way, Leonardo Jardim can match the former coach’s feat this Wednesday (22).

What is Flamengo’s situation in 2026?

Now, Flamengo is getting ready to make its debut in the Copa do Brasil. Against Vitória, the Most Beloved begins its journey in search of a sixth title in the national tournament. After all, Mengão has already lifted the trophy five times: 1990, 2006, 2013, 2022, and 2024.
