According to Julio Miguel Neto, the renowned international striker Paolo Guerrero is on Brazilian soil, more precisely in the enchanting Rio de Janeiro, in the midst of a crucial consideration of proposals that will shape his destiny in football. On this intriguing journey, the athlete chose the relaxed atmosphere of a restaurant on the edge of the iconic Barra Da Tijuca beach to meet with his family.

In a scenario that mixes professional decisions and family comfort, Guerrero dives in a decision-making process that could have a strong impact on the sporting scene. Coincidentally, fate crossed the paths of two other notable players in the same place: the skilled midfielder Thiago Santos and the fearless striker Keno, both from Fluminense.


These, immersed in their own preparations for the upcoming season next door, they shared the environment with Guerrero, creating a convergence of stories and expectations. The presence of these talents in the same space fuels speculation about Flamengo's possible interest in rekindling the partnership with Paolo Guerrero. The red and black fans, eager for protagonists who leave their mark, eagerly follow every movement of the striker who has already made history on Rio's lawns.


Flamengo, with its great trajectory, always seeks to strengthen its squad with players who not only add technical quality, but also integrate with the essence and passion of the club. The possibility of Guerrero wearing the red and black mantle again is a plot that could delight not only fanatical fans, but also redefine the panorama of Brazilian football.

However, as in every sporting plot, there are nuances to be considered. The proposals hanging over the attacker add an element of suspense to this story, making the outcome even more unpredictable. The player, during his stay in Rio de Janeiro, seeks to balance professionalism with the importance of support and understanding from those closest to him.


The chance meeting at the Barra Da Tijuca restaurant not only provided a glimpse from the human side of the players, but it also fueled discussions about what destiny has in store for each of them. The season ahead promises to be full of emotions and twists and turns, with Flamengo at the epicenter of a possible successful narrative.

Fans eagerly await the outcome, aware that every detail of these chance encounters can be a prelude to an exciting turnaround in the history of Brazilian football. Paolo Guerrero, with his striking presence, is about to decide not only his future, but also influence the course of a memorable chapter in Flamengo's sporting universe.

Being considered to join Tite's commission, Filipe Luís won titles with the Under-17s and, more recently, won the World Cup with the Under-20s, demonstrating all the potential that many already saw in him as a coach, even before his retirement as a player.  Beginning as a coach at Flamengo

Filipe Luís retired from the field in November 2023, after a brilliant career at Flamengo. His farewell took place in the penultimate round of the Brasileirão that year, along with Rodrigo Caio, who was also leaving the club.


Soon after hanging up his boots, Filipe Luís began his studies and preparation for his coaching career . In January 2024, just two months after retiring, he was announced as coach of Flamengo's Under-17 team.

In his debut as coach, Filipe Luís guided the team to a 5-1 victory. 1 over Boavista, showing that it would also bear fruit off the field. Later, he won the Copa Rio U17 in June, beating Vasco on penalties and lifting the trophy in São Januário.


Titles and rise in the U20

The Copa Rio U-17 title also marked his departure from command of the category, as Flamengo chose him to replace Mário Jorge in the U-20, after the team won the Libertadores.

Filipe Luís needed little time to stand out in his new role. In August 2024, just two months after his arrival, he led the U20 team to win the Club World Cup, turning around the match against Olympiacos 2-1 at Maracanã.

This turnaround had direct influence from Filipe Luís, who made strategic substitutions, placing Caio Garcia and Felipe Teresa on the field, responsible for the goals that guaranteed the unprecedented title for a Brazilian club.

Challenges as interim coach and the future at Flamengo

Now, three months after taking over the Under-20s, Filipe Luís takes another important step in his short, but promising, coaching career. He takes command of Flamengo's main team at a decisive moment of the season, with the club seeking to remain in the G4 of the Brasileirão and competing in the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil.

The "marriage" between Tite and Flamengo officially came to an end this Monday (30), with the announcement of the coach's resignation. Thus, the coach ends his time at Rubro-Negro after 70 games, with a 64.7% success rate, in addition to having won a state title and suffered a disappointing elimination in the Libertadores da América.
