SBT pundits compare Série A boss to Filipe Luís: "It's madness…" | OneFootball

Filipe Luís won two titles in 2025

Filipe Luís has stood out as one of the main coaches in Brazilian football, due to the titles and the performance of Flamengo this season. However, according to SBT commentators, Abel Ferreira, from Palmeiras, is superior compared to the rubro-negro manager.

During Thursday's program (18), the question was raised about who is the best coach. Thus, Kleber Gladiador, former Palmeiras player, highlighted: “It’s even crazy to hear that. Abel, a thousand times! Choosing Filipe Luís is a joke. He is an excellent coach, but come on, right?! Comparing Abel and Filipe Luís is just not possible.”

It didn't stop there. Ilsinho chose the Palmeiras coach, while Mano highlighted: “It’s neck and neck, both are excellent. I’d call it a tie.” Finally, Mauro Beting opted for the Flamengo professional: “At the moment, Filipe Luís.”

HOW ARE THE COACHES DOING THIS SEASON?

Flamengo has already won two titles this season. First, the rubro-negro team beat Botafogo in the Supercopa do Brasil final. Soon after, they lifted the Campeonato Carioca trophy. In addition, they are the isolated leader of the Campeonato Brasileiro.

On the other hand, Palmeiras has not won any titles this season. That’s because the team led by Abel Ferreira lost the Campeonato Paulista final to their rival Corinthians and was also eliminated from the Copa do Brasil by the same opponent.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Flamengo, led by Filipe Luís, remains alive in the Copa Libertadores and is seeking its third title. Thus, the rubro-negro team faces Estudiantes (ARG) this Thursday (18), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a quarterfinal match.
