Filipe Luis helps Flamengo thrive. |
On March 18, Flamengo drew with Fluminense, thereby winning 2-1 on aggregate after two legs of the Campeonato Carioca final (Rio de Janeiro state championship).
This is the third title Flamengo has won under coach Luis Filipe in just half a year. Before that, the Maracana team won the Copa Brasilera and the Brazilian Super Cup. In addition to the treble, Flamengo also has a 70% win rate, 17 clean sheets and only 1 loss.
"At 39, Filipe is on his way to becoming a legendary coach at Flamengo," La copa Sol praised the former Brazilian player.
The former Atletico and Chelsea left-back retired in November last year. 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.
After coach Tite was sacked by the Flamengo board in September, Luis became his replacement. The former left-back quickly made his mark by helping Flamengo escape the crisis, reaching the final of the Brazilian National Cup and winning the championship.
Globo commented that in the context of Brazilian football lacking a generation of young and talented coaches, Luis emerged as a promising face. It is important to know that the previous generation of 8x or even 7x of Brazilian football rarely had anyone who was successful when hanging up his boots to become a coach. This led to a coaching crisis in the samba country's football, causing the CBF to consider inviting a foreign strategist to lead the Selecao.
