Léo Pereira also bid farewell to Filipe Luís' assistants

After the dismissal of coach Filipe Luís in the early hours of this Tuesday (03), the players of Flamengo began to say goodbye to the former red-black coach. The defender Léo Pereira took to social media to send a message to the professional.

“Much more than an idol of Flamengo as a player and coach, you are an example of a person and a professional. Gratitude for all the moments; we learned a lot from you and your entire team”, began Léo Pereira.

“It was a cycle of many joys and achievements, and it was a privilege to have you as a team. Thank you, Filipe Luís, Diogo Linhares, Rodrigo Caio, and Ivan”, concluded the Flamengo defender in a post published on Instagram, this Tuesday (03).

HOW DID FILIPE LUÍS LEAVE?

Thus, Léo Pereira did not participate in Filipe Luís' last match with Flamengo, on Monday (02), when the team defeated Madureira 8-0. After the match, the coach held a press conference and, around 1 a.m. (Brasília time), was dismissed.

However, Flamengo only announced the dismissal of Filipe Luís, Diogo Linhares, and Ivan Palanco, the coach's assistants. Later, Rodrigo Caio resigned after the situation gained national attention and also left the Most Beloved.

AND NOW, FLAMENGO?

Now, Flamengo is going to the market in search of a new coach for the continuation of the season. Thus, Mengo is negotiating the hiring of Leonardo Jardim. Finally, the talks are already at an advanced stage. Therefore, it is likely that a conclusion will be reached soon.
