vice-leader of the carioca championship , the Flamengo back to the field this Saturday to face the classic Fla-Flu , at 4:30 pm (Brasília), in Maracanã. The duel will be a rematch for Filipe Luís , as Fluminense is the only team that defeated the coach sensation of Brazilian football in this early career.
Since taking over the red-black command, Filipe Luís accumulates 20 matches, including the friendly against The Sao Paulo in the United States, and bears a use of 75%. In the last decade, among the coaches of Flamengo , its performance is only behind the impressive 81, 6% achieved by Jorge Jesus at the end of his passage through Gávea.
so far, Filipe Luís, or simply "Fili", as it is called by players, sum 13 wins B>, Six draws and only a defeat . The only setback took place on October 17th last year, for the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship , when in his third game ahead of the team. At the time, the Flamengo missed good opportunities in the first half and was eventually surpassed by Fluminense.
The cast ends the preparation for Fla-Flu this Friday, with training at the vulture nest.

“I know how Mano plays and I will decide the game plan based on Fluminense. The pieces will define closer of the match, and you will know an hour before, ”said Filipe Luís after the Portuguese defeat.
No new embezzlement, Filipe Luís has maximum force for the classic except Pedro and viña , who are still recovering from serious injuries suffered last year. The coach can repeat the lineup that ran over Botafogo in Brazil Super Cup last Sunday, but also has Arrascaeta and Luiz Araújo asking for passage, besides Danilo B>, who made a good debut as a starter last Wednesday.
The former Mengão striker is attracting interest from the São Paulo team, but contractual issues and high salary figures could make negotiations for 2026 difficult.

Gabigol's name has been linked to Corinthians again . The striker, who has previously been involved in controversy at Flamengo due to images in the black and white jersey, now appears as a possible reinforcement for the São Paulo club in 2026.
At Cruzeiro, Gabigol is facing a turbulent time . With Kaio Jorge in excellent form and a starter in the Raposa attack, the striker has lost his place in Leonardo Jardim's team, which has generated dissatisfaction on the player's part.
According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Corinthians is interested in signing Gabigol, but to make the deal happen, they would need to release Memphis Depay . The Dutch striker earns around R$6 million per month, while Gabigol's salary is over R$2 million.
Another critical point is Gabigol's contract with Cruzeiro, valid until 2028. For the player to be able to transfer, Corinthians would need to negotiate financial compensation with Raposa, in addition to adjusting its payroll.
Gabigol arrived at Cruzeiro on a free transfer after ending his stint with Flamengo. He has a four-year contract with the Minas Gerais club and has so far played 35 matches, scored 12 goals, and provided four assists.

With Betano leading the Brasileirão and a place in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals assured, Flamengo is reaping the rewards of a structured plan put together by its board. The synergy between management and the coaching staff has been crucial in maintaining a strong squad and achieving consistent performances on the field.
Given the team's strong performance, the club's board is focused on ensuring the continuity of coach Filipe Luís. The coach has been receiving inquiries from the international market, but so far, he maintains his preference for remaining with the Rio de Janeiro club.
In addition to planning Filipe Luís's contract renewal, Flamengo's management is intensifying its case-by-case evaluation of the squad's players. Among them is striker Pedro, the team's number 9, who has been returning to form after a period of instability.
Embroiled in recent controversies at Gávea, Pedro has yet to decide his future at the club. According to information from the Bolavip website, the athlete has not ruled out considering offers from other teams in the next transfer window. Currently, the player's priority is to find the best option for his career and financially, without limiting his available options.
Flamengo 's board intends to renew contracts with Filipe Luís and Arrascaeta in 2025. Pedro and Rossi are expected to have their contracts renewed next season. Currently, there is no sign of dissatisfaction with the Mengão striker.

Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (18) for the most important game of the season so far: the clash against Estudiantes, in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores da América, at Maracanã. Despite the maximum concentration on the knockout stage, the club still has to deal with movements in the transfer market. Defender Léo Ortiz has once again been the target of speculation and may receive a new offer from European football.
According to information from the 'bolavip' portal, Nottingham Forest (ENG) is expected to formalize a proposal in the next transfer window . The defender is already attracting interest from several clubs, and the club's board understands that it will be difficult to hold on to him for long. The English club is controlled by billionaire Evangelos Marinakis, which increases its investment power.
In addition to Nottingham, clubs such as Napoli, Juventus, and Roma have already made informal inquiries . So far, the only concrete offer has come from RB Leipzig, but talks have not progressed. Flamengo 's board maintains its position of not negotiating the player.
On the field, Léo Ortiz is confirmed among the starters this Thursday. The defender returns after serving an automatic suspension in the Brasileirão and will be a key player against Estudiantes , at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
Besides him, Varela and Bruno Henrique are also available for Filipe Luís again after being rested against Juventude. Alex Sandro and Jorginho remain doubtful and will have their fitness reassessed shortly before the match.
