Filipe Luís or Bruno Pivetti? Who takes charge of Flamengo against Vasco? | OneFootball

Flamengo have yet to decide whether Filipe Luís or Bruno Pivetti will lead the team against Vasco on Wednesday at the Maracanã, 21:30. Bottom of Group B after three matches, they are weighing senior reinforcements for the under-20 line-up.

According to Globo.com, with only one point so far, the club is weighing the risk of having to play the relegation quadrangular, which could overburden the senior squad later on. Wednesday's clássico is an Estadual third-round fixture.

In this scenario, Royal, Ayrton Lucas, Allan, Evertton Araújo, Michael and Everton Cebolinha could be drafted in. There is pressure from Gávea to alter the plan and field a stronger side against Vasco, and that option is being discussed.

The touchline call is also pending. Initially, Bruno Pivetti is due to lead the side until Sunday against Fluminense, yet a return for Filipe Luís in midweek is not ruled out and may depend on which players are available.

The first team trained twice on Monday, and the plan was for more full-day work across the week to intensify preparation for the Campeonato Brasileiro opener on 28 at São Paulo's Morumbis. The primary focus remains the Supercopa on 1 February against Corinthians in Brasília.

In 2026, the Carioca has two groups of six teams. The two worst in each group enter a relegation quadrangular, all play all in two rounds, six matches per team, and the team that finishes bottom is relegated to Série A2.
