Flamengo is preparing this Tuesday (30) a tribute to coach Filipe Luís , who completes one year in charge of the professional team. He took office on September 30, 2024, replacing Tite , after a brief stint in the Rubro-Negro youth ranks. With a contract valid until the end of the current season, the coach has already expressed interest in renewing, but negotiations are still ongoing.


Filipe Luís's transition to coaching has been meteoric. After retiring as a player in 2023, he made his debut as coach of the U-17s in January 2024 , took over the U-20s in June, and just three months later, was given the opportunity to manage the senior team. Despite his brief experience, the coach quickly gained attention for his work and even turned down an offer from Fenerbahçe in Turkey.


RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS


Since taking over, Filipe Luís has already won three titles: the Copa do Brasil in 2024, as well as the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Carioca in 2025. This season, Flamengo leads the Brasileirão and is in the semifinals of the Libertadores, keeping alive the chances of lifting more trophies.

The coach also excelled at tactical awareness. In one of his most memorable matches, against Corinthians in the 2024 Copa do Brasil , he reorganized the team after losing a player in the first half, adjusting the defensive strategy and securing qualification.


STATEMENTS BY FILIPE LUÍS

After the victory over Corinthians , Filipe Luís revealed the intensity and emotion of experiencing this moment at Flamengo: " I arrived in the room and thanked them, but not for the victory. I was grateful for the privilege of experiencing unique moments here, both as a player and now as a coach. Every second is a gift for me. I'm making the most of it, even when it's not so good. I'm where I want to be," said the manager.

Flamengo returns to work this Tuesday (30), after giving the squad a day off. The return comes on the back of a 2-1 comeback victory over Corinthians last Sunday. The result increased the Rubro-Negro's lead over its direct competitors and consolidated the team's lead in the competition.


In the transfer market, the club is already planning moves for the next transfer window. Among the names being considered for a move from Flamengo is Michael . The striker hasn't played in months, has lost his place in the squad, and is experiencing a period of dissatisfaction.


According to the Bola Vip website, the player was left off the squad list, even after recovering from an ankle injury that sidelined him for a few rounds. Internally, the trend is that Michael's time at the club will come to an end . Corinthians appears to be a possible destination, as Dorival Júnior is an admirer of his style of play and may request his signing.


DISPUTE FOR POSITIONS IN THE CAST

The arrival of reinforcements and the consolidation of other players in the squad increased competition for places, something that directly affected Michael. Since the Club World Cup, the striker has been on the bench against Bayern Munich and São Paulo , but was left out in subsequent games, further undermining his lack of playing time.


FLAMENGO X CRUZEIRO

Flamengo's next challenge takes place on Thursday (2), at 8:30 pm , at Maracanã, against Cruzeiro. The match is seen as decisive, as it brings together the top two teams in the table. In addition, the game marks the reunion of the Rio fans with Gabigol, who defends the Minas Gerais team.
