Coach Filipe Luis aims to take Flamengo to continue conquering new heights. |
On August 21, Flamengo defeated Internacional 2-0 in the second leg of the round of 16 of the 2025 Copa Libertadores. This result not only helped them reach the semi-finals, it also increased Flamengo's number of wins to 43, since Filipe Luis was appointed head coach of the club in October 2024.
No other professional club in the world has won more than Flamengo in the same period. It is worth remembering that the former Atletico and Chelsea left-back only retired at the end of 2023. In January 2024, he turned down a position with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to become coach of Flamengo's U17 team, then moved up to the U20 team.
As coach of Flamengo's U17 and U20 teams, the 40-year-old strategist left a strong impression, helping his team to have 16 wins and 4 losses, scoring 53 goals and conceding only 17 (out of a total of 20 matches).
After coach Tite was fired by the Flamengo board in September 2024, Luis became his replacement. The former left-back quickly left his mark by helping Flamengo escape the crisis, reach the final of the Brazilian National Cup and win the championship.
In a short time, Filipe Luis has turned himself into one of the most watched coaches in South American football, even the world. At the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Filipe Luis also helped Flamengo advance to the round of 16 before being defeated by Bayern Munich 2-4. In the context of Brazilian football lacking a generation of young and talented coaches, Luis has emerged as a promising face.
