Ancelotti praises Filipe Luís, sees obstacle to Europe move | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti spoke about Flamengo's coach this Wednesday (01)

One year in charge of the professional team of Flamengo, Filipe Luís is already a topic in Europe. However, it is not common for Brazilians to coach teams in the Old Continent. The Italian manager of the Brazilian National Team, Carlo Ancelotti, praised 'Filipinho' and highlighted the political problem that hinders the export of coaches.

"He is a young coach who already has good experience as a player, he can do a lot, he is doing very well. It is a bit rare for a Brazilian coach to coach in Europe", said Carlo Ancelotti, in an interview with 'TNT Brasil'.

— But it is a struggle that the Brazilian coach has to make to be able to coach in Europe as I can coach in Brazil. Why can't a Brazilian coach in Italy or elsewhere? I see a political problem between Conmebol and UEFA —, added the coach of the Brazilian National Team.

DOES FILIPE LUÍS HAVE NO PLACE IN EUROPE?

Despite Ancelotti identifying a barrier for Filipe Luís to work in Europe, the young coach stays at Flamengo by his own will. After all, recently, 'Filipinho' didn't even want to hear Fenerbahçe's (TUR) proposal. In addition, Bayer Leverkusen (GER) made inquiries.

Filipe Luís has never hidden that he needs more experience as a coach to consider a move to Europe. Moreover, the coach emphasizes that he is happy in charge of his favorite team, where he has already won three titles, leads the Brasileirão 2025 and will play the semi-finals of the Libertadores this month.

LEAVE FILIPE LUÍS HERE, ANCELOTTI?

Valued by Ancelotti, Filipe Luís focuses entirely on Flamengo. This Thursday (02), the Rubro-Negro faces Cruzeiro, for the 26th round of the Brasileirão. The ball rolls from 8:30 pm (Brasília time), in a packed Maracanã.
