Untouchable? Filipe Luís could match Flamengo feat after 14 years | OneFootball

Qualified for the Libertadores quarter-finals and leader of the Brasileirão, Filipe Luís has a renewal proposal

Filipe Luís is close to repeating a rare feat at Flamengo. This is because the former left-back started and may finish a season in the technical command. Since 2011, no coach has achieved such stability. Vanderlei Luxemburgo was the last to complete the cycle, between October 2010 and February 2012, with 16 months of work.

Instability in the coach's position has been a hallmark of the club this century so far. In 2013, for example, Flamengo changed coaches four times. The list of commanders during this period is extensive, with names like Dorival Júnior, Jorginho, Mano Menezes, Jayme de Almeida, among others.

What did Filipe Luís do?

Since Tite's dismissal in September 2024, Filipe Luís has demonstrated successful work. The coach won the Copa do Brasil, the Supercopa, and the Campeonato Carioca. Currently, he is in the quarter-finals of the Libertadores and leading the Brasileirão.

Will he renew?

Thus, Flamengo is negotiating the contract renewal of Filipe Luís. The coach, who has a contract until the end of 2025, has already received a proposal to extend it until December 2027. The main obstacle would be financial, but the management is optimistic about the outcome.

And the numbers?

With only six defeats in 65 games, Filipe Luís has a success rate of 74.3%. The performance is the highest since Jorge Jesus, who led the team with 81.6% victories between 2019 and 2020. The work of the former left-back is fundamental to the club's good phase.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Filipe Luís on the sidelines, Flamengo plays from 4 pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (08) to face the gaucho Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match takes place at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul.
