WHY DID FLAMENGO TERMINATE THE CONTRACT?

Flamengo ended the contract with Felipe Teresa this week after internal evaluations by the youth team's technical committee, led by Bruno Pivetti. The contract, which was to last until July 2026, was terminated.

According to YouTuber Guilherme ‘Flazoeiro’, the decision was based on the player's attitude during training and matches. Therefore, the management considered that his behavior did not match the profile required in the under-20 squad.

Felipe Teresa achieved significant accomplishments in Flamengo's youth categories. In 2024, the forward scored the winning goal in the Under-20 Club World Cup against Olympiacos (GRE).

The forward also had opportunities with the professional team. Filipe Luís used the player in the Brasileirão, and Felipe scored a goal against Grêmio in Porto Alegre. In summary, his debut was considered promising.
