Uefa rules block Atlético de Madrid’s move for Filipe Luís | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid (ESP) plans to renew Diego Simeone's contract

After a historic season with Flamengo, Filipe Luís has started to attract attention from the global football scene. The Flamengo fans are anxious about the possibility of losing the coach. However, a UEFA regulation prevents a European move for the coach.

This is because, due to UEFA rules, Filipe Luís does not yet have the necessary license to coach a European team. To achieve this, the coach needs two years of experience managing a professional football club.

Moreover, another possibility is for Filipe Luís to take the necessary course for the UEFA PRO License in Europe. However, this would take the coach away from Flamengo and consume career time. Thus, the coach does not view this alternative favorably.

What is the situation with Atlético de Madrid?

The main European club linked to Filipe Luís is Atlético de Madrid (ESP), a team where the coach played for a large part of his career as a full-back. However, the Spanish team does not intend to part ways with coach Diego Simeone.

With a contract valid until June 2027, Diego Simeone intends to stay at Atlético de Madrid for more years. Not surprisingly, according to the Spanish newspaper ‘Marca’, the team is considering offering a contract renewal to the Argentine coach.

What is Filipe Luís's situation?

After the victorious 2025 season, Flamengo is focused on renewing Filipe Luís's contract. After all, the coach's contract ends at the end of 2025. Therefore, the expectation is that the Rubro-Negro will prepare a new agreement with the coach until December 2027.

What are Flamengo's numbers for the 2025 season?

Flamengo concluded the 2025 season with 78 matches played, totaling 49 wins, 18 draws, and 11 losses. Additionally, Filipe Luís's team won six titles in the year: Supercopa do Brasil, Carioca, Brasileirão, Libertadores, Dérbi das Américas, and Challenger Cup.
