Luiz Araújo set to shine at Flamengo with Jardim’s arrival | OneFootball

Why Luiz Araújo Might Get New Opportunities at Flamengo?

Flamengo secured the signing of Leonardo Jardim following the departure of Filipe Luís. Luiz Araújo might gain new opportunities in the red-black team because he was once a target for the Portuguese coach when he was at Cruzeiro.

Leonardo Jardim took over as Cruzeiro's coach in the 2025 season. At that time, the Portuguese coach requested the signing of Luiz Araújo, as he likes the playing style of the forward. However, back then, Flamengo refused to negotiate the player.

Has Luiz Araújo Faced Leonardo Jardim Before?

It's worth noting that Jardim knows Luiz Araújo from their time in French football. The Portuguese coach has faced the Flamengo forward, who played for Lille (FRA), when he was managing Monaco (FRA) with Mbappé.

Thus, Luiz Araújo might receive new opportunities at Flamengo with the arrival of Leonardo Jardim. The coach will conduct his first training session this Wednesday (04) at CT Ninho do Urubu, starting at 4 PM (Brasília time).

What is Flamengo's Next Match?

Flamengo, now with Leonardo Jardim, is facing the final of the Campeonato Carioca. The Most Beloved will play against Fluminense on Sunday (08) at Maracanã, at 6 PM (Brasília time), with broadcast by Rede Globo on open channel and Premiere on pay-per-view.
