Leonardo Jardim overtakes Filipe Luís, eyes Jorge Jesus record at Flamengo

What achievement did Leonardo Jardim reach at Flamengo?

Flamengo beat Atlético-MG this Sunday (26), 4-0, in a match valid for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. With the result, Leonardo Jardim reached his seventh straight win in charge of the Rubro-Negro, surpassed Filipe Luís, and now has his sights set on one of Jorge Jesus’ records.

That is because Filipe Luís managed, at most, six consecutive wins last year, on three different occasions. Before Leonardo Jardim, the last coach to achieve seven straight victories at Flamengo was Tite, between February and March 2024.

What is Jorge Jesus’ record at Flamengo?

Leonardo Jardim will now try to match an achievement of Jorge Jesus, the coach who won the Libertadores and the Brasileirão in 2019. In charge of Flamengo, the Portuguese coach won ten matches in a row between February and July 2020. In other words, Mengão’s current manager needs three more wins to draw level with his fellow countryman.

What is Flamengo’s situation in 2026?

Flamengo are currently in second place in the Brasileirão, with 26 points. It is worth noting, however, that Mengão have played one game fewer than Palmeiras, the league leaders. In the Libertadores, the Rubro-Negro lead Group A with six points from two matches.

In addition, Flamengo opened the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil with a win. At the Maracanã, the Rubro-Negro beat Vitória 2-1 and, as a result, can even draw the return leg and still advance to the round of 16.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo will now turn their focus back to the Libertadores. This Wednesday (29), the Rubro-Negro face Estudiantes (ARG) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in the third round of the continental tournament.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of Flamengo’s match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
