The 40-year-old rubro-negro idol signed a contract with the club from the principality until June 2028. In this way, the former player got the long-dreamed-of opportunity to coach a European club. In addition to the French league, Monaco will also play in the 2026/27 Europa League.

How did Filipe Luís do at Flamengo?

Filipe Luís’ idol status at the Most Beloved began while he was still a left-back. Besides winning multiple titles, the former player always showed leadership on and off the pitch. Once retired, the former wing-back began his coaching career in Flamengo’s youth ranks.

In 2024, however, Mengo fired Tite and appointed Filipe Luís to the role with the first team. The rookie coach then continued the campaign that ended with the 2024 Copa do Brasil title.

The idol stayed on for 2025, when he led one of Fla’s most successful years. However, the team’s performances declined, followed by a run of runner-up finishes at the start of 2026. So, the board decided to sack the coach, but the fans’ affection remains.
