Filipe Luís rejects Fenerbahçe, focused on Flamengo renewal | OneFootball

Filipe Luís has a contract with Flamengo until December 2025

Filipe Luís turned down an offer from Fenerbahçe, from Turkey, and decided to continue talks for a contract renewal with Flamengo. The information was reported by journalist Rodrigo Mattos and confirmed by the Coluna do Fla team.

The Turkish club approached Flamengo's football director, José Boto, and expressed interest in signing Filipe Luís. The coach, however, is enjoying a good moment at the helm of Mengão. Moreover, even though he wishes to work in Europe in the future, the coach understands that the project at Flamengo is still under construction. For this reason, he decided not to open negotiations at this time.

WHY DID FILIPE LUÍS SAY “NO” TO FENERBAHÇE?

Fenerbahçe even signaled a financial compensation to Flamengo, but both the Rio club and the coach ruled out any possibility of ending the contract now. Demonstrating confidence in Filipe Luís's work, Flamengo has already presented a contract renewal proposal until the end of 2026, with an option to extend until the end of 2027. The coach, in turn, is expected to send a counterproposal in the coming days.

HOW HAS FILIPE LUÍS' JOURNEY AT FLAMENGO BEEN?

After hanging up his boots, Filipe Luís began his coaching career at the start of 2024, taking charge of the under-17 team, where he won the Copa Rio. Later, he ‘moved up’ to the under-20s and led Flamengo to the World Cup title for the category, at Maracanã. In October of the same year, he took over the professional team in place of Tite and ended the season by winning the Copa do Brasil.

WHAT ARE FILIPE LUÍS' NUMBERS WITH THE FIRST TEAM?

In 2025, Filipe Luís maintained his good performance and added two more titles to his résumé: the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Carioca. So far, in charge of the professional team, the coach has led 65 matches, with 43 wins, 16 draws, and only six losses. The team has scored 116 goals and conceded only 36 under his command.
