Master and apprentice: Filipe Luís matches Jorge Jesus' record at Flamengo | OneFootball

Has the student already surpassed the master? This question will linger in the debates among Flamengo fans whenever the topic is Filipe Luís and Jorge Jesus. The fact is, regardless of opinions, both coaches have already secured their names in the history of the Gávea club, albeit in different ways.

Last Wednesday, Filipe Luís led the Rio team to the Brazilian Championship title just three days after winning the Libertadores, repeating the feat of Jorge Jesus’ Flamengo in 2019. On that occasion, the team lifted the continental trophy and, the very next day, clinched the double with the Série A title.

Filipe also matched an important record set by Jorge Jesus. With a short but already very promising career, Flamengo’s current coach has five titles, just as the Portuguese did during his time at the club between the 2019 and 2020 seasons.

Jorge Jesus revolutionized Flamengo and won a Libertadores, a Copa do Brasil, and a Brasileirão in 2019, as well as a Campeonato Carioca and a Recopa Sudamericana in 2020.

Filipe Luís, in turn, took charge of the Rubro-Negro in October 2024 and won his first trophy that same year, starting off with the Copa do Brasil. In the current season, he has led Fla to the titles of the Libertadores, the Brasileirão, the Carioca, and the Supercopa do Brasil.

It’s worth noting that Flamengo’s current manager could surpass Jorge Jesus in number of titles before the end of the year. The Gávea club is competing in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, which could give Filipe Luís his sixth trophy and also achieve something the Portuguese never did: leading the team to the title of the former Club World Cup.

Jorge Jesus even worked with Filipe Luís during his time at Flamengo, but as coach and player. The former left-back, in fact, was a key figure in the historic year for the Rubro-Negro in 2019.
