Find out how much salary Flamengo offered Filipe Luís to renew his contract | OneFootball

Filipe Luís is Living the Final Days of His Contract with Flamengo

Flamengo remains 100% focused on renewing the contract with coach Filipe Luís. Amid the ongoing talks, the parties have yet to reach an agreement regarding the coach's salary. Mengão, in fact, offered lower figures than what Tite used to earn at the club.

According to journalist Vitor Sérgio Rodrigues, Flamengo offered Filipe Luís a salary lower than Tite’s. As the rubro-negro coach until October 2024, the professional received around R$ 2.5 million per month.

What is Flamengo’s Stance on Filipe Luís’ Salary?

It’s worth noting that Flamengo believes that comparing Filipe Luís’ salary to what Tite earned at the club is not valid. That’s because the coach’s contract was signed by the previous rubro-negro management, led by Rodolfo Landim. Therefore, President Bap does not take responsibility for amounts paid by the former board.

Is Flamengo in a Hurry to Renew with Filipe Luís?

Flamengo believes it has three ‘trump cards’ to advance negotiations to renew with Filipe Luís. After all, the coach has not yet received any official offers from other clubs. In addition, Mengão believes that the South American market does not pose a threat to the Rubro-Negro.

Finally, Filipe Luís still does not have the necessary experience to hold a valid UEFA license to work in European football. In other words, Flamengo does not feel threatened by possible interest from European teams.

What is Filipe Luís’ Current Situation?

The rubro-negro board began talks to renew Filipe Luís’ contract a few months ago. However, in the midst of the Libertadores, the Club World Cup, and the Brasileirão, the coach preferred to focus on Flamengo’s performance on the field.

Taking over Flamengo in October 2024, Filipe Luís has collected seven titles. Last year, the coach won the Copa do Brasil by defeating Atlético-MG. In addition, this season, Mengão won the Supercopa do Brasil, the Carioca, the Libertadores, the Brasileirão, the Derby of the Americas, and the Challenger Cup.
