WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S ANNOUNCEMENT?

“Clube de Regatas do Flamengo announces that, as of this Tuesday (3), Filipe Luís will no longer be the head coach of the professional team. Along with him, Ivan Palanco (assistant coach) and Diogo Linhares (fitness coach) will also leave the club.

Flamengo thanks the former athlete and coach Filipe Luís for everything that was achieved and shared during this journey. The club wishes him success and the best of luck as he continues his professional career.

Clube de Regatas do Flamengo.”

WHAT IS THE SITUATION REGARDING HIS DEPARTURE?

Flamengo has been experiencing a period of internal instability after a turbulent start to 2026. This is because the red-and-black team lost the Supercopa do Brasil final to Corinthians and the Recopa Sudamericana to Lanús (ARG).

In addition, Flamengo is only in 11th place in the Campeonato Brasileiro, with one win in three matches played. Finally, the red-and-black team even flirted with a spot in the relegation round of the State Championship.

As a result, Flamengo fans began to criticize the football displayed by Filipe Luís's team. The first act occurred during the match against Lanús at Maracanã. Part of the stadium chanted: “Hey, Filipe, go f*** yourself” as a form of protest.

HOW DOES FILIPE LUÍS LEAVE FLAMENGO?

Thus, Filipe Luís leaves Flamengo with a positive record. That's because the coach won the Copa do Brasil in 2024. Soon after, he lifted the trophies of the Libertadores, the Campeonato Carioca, and the Brasileirão in 2025.
