Ex-Flamengo star emotional over 2019 and 2025 glory years | OneFootball

Currently an assistant to Filipe Luís, Rodrigo Caio celebrated the end of the season at Flamengo with major titles

Many Flamengo fans did not imagine it would be possible to repeat 2019, with the titles of the Libertadores, the Brasileirão, and the Carioca in the same year. However, in 2025, the Most Beloved surpassed that mark. Rodrigo Caio was at the club during both seasons. Six years ago, as a defender. Today, in the role of assistant to Filipe Luís.

“What a year, Flamengo. Being able to relive all this, now in a new phase of my life, is something inexplicable. Gratitude, Jesus, for taking such good care of every detail,” wrote Rodrigo Caio in a social media post, with photos of the 2025 titles.

QUICK CHANGE OF ROLE?

Like Filipe Luís, Rodrigo Caio left Flamengo in 2023. However, unlike the former full-back, who retired, the defender continued his career and even played for Grêmio before hanging up his boots. With many physical problems, the 'Sheriff' decided to retire prematurely at 31.

Somewhat surprisingly, Rodrigo Caio joined Filipe Luís's coaching staff and played a decisive role in preparing Flamengo's set pieces. In this way, even, Mengão scored the winning goal in the Libertadores final, with Danilo.

DID 2025 SURPASS 2019?

With Rodrigo Caio on the field, Flamengo experienced a magical year, with three titles. However, in the role of assistant, the trophies doubled. In addition to the Carioca, Libertadores, and Brasileirão, Mengo lifted the Supercopa do Brasil, the Dérbi das Américas, and the Copa Challenger.
