São Paulo announced the dismissal of coach Hernán Crespo amid the end of the state championship and the beginning of the Brazilian Championship. As a result, the São Paulo team began to look for replacements, and Filipe Luís, former Flamengo coach, is one of the targets.
According to information from journalist Gabriel Sá, Filipe Luís and Roger Machado are targets for São Paulo. The team from São Paulo even approached the former Flamengo coach, but was told that he is not interested in working in Brazil in 2026.
Filipe Luís had been at Flamengo since the final stretch of 2024, but ended up being dismissed from the rubro-negro team last Tuesday (03). The coach had secured qualification for the final of the Campeonato Carioca, but his contract was terminated.
São Paulo started well in the Brazilian Championship, but has been experiencing internal instability. Thus, the São Paulo team decided to dismiss coach Hernán Crespo this Monday (09). The Argentine had disagreements with members of the club.
