German club sound out Palmeiras' Abel Ferreira after Filipe Luís snub | OneFootball

Why did Filipe Luís turn down Bayer Leverkusen’s approach?

Bayer Leverkusen (GER) tried to sign Filipe Luís, former Flamengo head coach. However, the red-and-black idol turned down the approach. For this reason, the German side sounded out the situation of Abel Ferreira, from Palmeiras.

According to journalist Valentin Furlan of UOL, Abel Ferreira received an approach from Bayer Leverkusen in recent days. However, the coach did not agree to open negotiations and decided to remain at Palmeiras.

Why didn’t Filipe Luís accept Bayer Leverkusen’s offer?

Monaco (FRA) got in touch with Filipe Luís and agreed on all details with the former Flamengo head coach. However, Bayer Leverkusen only sounded out the coach’s situation after the agreement between him and the French club.

Therefore, since he had already accepted Monaco’s offer, Filipe Luís decided not to hear Bayer Leverkusen’s proposal. The former Flamengo head coach will sign a two-season contract with the French team, until the end of June 2028.

What about Flamengo?

Flamengo has Leonardo Jardim in charge of the coaching staff. The Portuguese manager is already preparing the team for the clash with Coritiba on Saturday (30) at the Maracanã, for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be played at 4:00 PM (Brasília time).
