Coach Tite continues to be the target of questions in command of Flamengo, with part of the fans calling for his departure and suggesting the promotion of Filipe Luís. However, the club is not considering the rise of the former player at this time, despite the team's unstable phase. Thus, the decision is that Filipe will continue to lead the under-20 team.

According to information from the newspaper "O Globo", people close to Filipe Luís believe that he does not feel prepared to take command of the team main now. The former player closely monitors the situation in the dressing room and understands that the drop in performance of the team, which competes in three competitions simultaneously, is understandable.

Three reasons not to accept the challenge

Among the reasons that weigh against the possibility of Filipe Luís taking over Flamengo are the high number of injuries in the squad and the lack of time to get to know the players you haven't worked with yet. Filipe considers that this phase of the season would not be ideal to start his career as a coach with the first team.


Another relevant point is that, currently, Filipe Luís does not have the necessary license to coach the professional team. To do so, the under-20 coach would need a certificate from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), essential to take charge of Flamengo.

Challenges with injuries and competitions

Flamengo faces serious injury problems this season. Matías Viña, Everton Cebolinha and Pedro are out until 2024, while Michael and Gabigol continue to undergo treatment in the medical department, with no expected return in the next games.


Despite the difficulties, Flamengo continues to compete on three fronts: it is in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil, in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores — after losing the first game against Peñarol (URU ) — and occupies fourth place in the Brazilian Championship.

Next game

With Tite in charge, Flamengo is preparing to face Grêmio this Sunday (22), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), in Porto Alegre, at the Grêmio Arena. The match will be broadcast on Premiere throughout Brazil on Pay-Per-View and streaming.
