The vice-president of Flamengo's youth categories, Vitor Zanelli, valued the profile and work of Filipe Luís, current coach of Mengão's Under-20s. In an interview with Uol, the director highlighted the exchange of experiences with the red-black idol and how the category promotion was beneficial for the entire club.
One of the pillars for the positive balance that Flamengo had, during the period of absences arising from of the call-ups for the Copa América, it was the chance given to the nestlings. One of the reasons for promoting Filipe Luís from Under-17 to Under-20 was the transition process from youth to professional. After the departure of Mário Jorge, who joined Saudi Arabia's Under-17s, the former full-back also took on this role.
“Filipe Luís is a sensational guy. He's a win-win. He brought a lot of his experience, his experience, he has a very good approach with the players. And we are sharing with him all our methodology, work, the entire structure. It’s been very good for both sides”, pointed out Zanelli.
Filipe Luís will lead Flamengo in the World Cup Sub- 20
In August, Rubro-Negro will play the U20 World Cup at home, against Olympiakos, from Greece. The match will be on the 24th, at Maracanã. In March, Mengão were undefeated champions of the Libertadores category, beating Boca Juniors in the final. Coach Filipe Luís will have the mission of leading the nestlings to another title this season. Zanelli stated that winning is the main objective.
“The fact that [Filipe] went from under-17 to under-20 was a matter of opportunity. We realized that it could be very good for all technicians to move up a category. We are doing everything we can to make this work because our main objective is to win the World Cup.”
Crowns from the nest have gained professional opportunities
During the FIFA dates period, with friendlies and competitions, 13 players trained in Flamengo's youth categories were listed by Tite, with seven of them taking the field. Among them, Lorran, scorer of the Copa Libertadores Under-20 title goal. Filipe Luís' experience and knowledge of the professional's day-to-day life can further boost the number of promises reaching the professional.
The striker has already shown interest in seeking new horizons, but has not yet received any official offers; Juninho, Victor Hugo and Cleiton also appear on the list.

Striker Michael is emerging as the top name among the players who could leave Flamengo this transfer window. The athlete has already communicated to the board his desire to pursue new career opportunities, but has not yet received an official offer.
Another player whose future may soon be decided is Juninho. The midfielder's representatives presented two loan proposals about a month ago, but both were rejected by the club's management, who deemed them unprofitable. Despite this, his agents are still looking for alternatives. This information comes from the Voz do Ninho website.
Within the club, the perception is that the lack of playing time could influence the retention of some players. In Michael's case, offers arrived from Saudi Arabia, but all in the form of a loan . The board preferred not to move forward, seeking more favorable terms.
As a result, the striker lost his place in the rotation, falling behind Filipe Luís in certain selections. This situation reinforces the need for roster adjustments, especially given the "large number of players" recently mentioned by the coach himself.
Besides Michael and Juninho, other players are also being considered. Midfielder Victor Hugo, who recently returned from loan, has yet to establish himself and could be traded again . Defender Cleiton, who has been underused, also appears on the list of possible departures.
The biggest idol in the club's history takes his 'Resenha do Galinho' segment to the official red-black channel and the first episode has already been recorded.

Flamengo TV launches this Thursday (21) a new attraction for the Red-Black Nation : “Resenha do Galinho”, hosted by idol Zico . The program promises to revive memories, unite past and present and, already at its premiere, will have a special guest — coach Filipe Luís.
The first episode will air this Thursday, while the second is scheduled for next Tuesday (26). From then on, the program will be shown biweekly. The difference is that the guests will participate in pairs , with the exception of the premiere, in which Filipe Luís will be interviewed individually.
During the chat, Zico even touched on the coach's sleep routine, admitting to waking up in the middle of the night with ideas for the team . When asked if he'd ever put any into practice, Filipe responded good-naturedly: "Yes, I have, thanks, but it's a shame. Because I don't rest," he said, drawing laughter from Galinho.
After the premiere, “ Resenha do Galinho ” returns on Tuesday (26) with Léo Ortiz and Mozer, two symbols of the red-black defense in different times . The current number 3 was recently praised by Zico himself and was even honored by the idol at Ninho do Urubu.
On social media, Flamengo announced the debut and included a message from Zico to encourage fans: "Guys, I just recorded the first program 'Resenha do Galinho', here on Flamengo TV, with the great Filipe Luís. We're waiting for you ."
Mengão and the betting house signed the largest sponsorship contract in Brazil and the club's president comments on the growth of the sector in the country.

After terminating its contract with PixBet and considering new proposals, Flamengo has chosen Betano as its new master sponsor . The agreement, valid until 2028, is the largest in Brazilian football history, with a potential annual value of R$268.5 million . President Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, explained the reasons behind the choice.
According to Bap, the decision wasn't based solely on financial considerations. He highlighted the process of rapprochement between the parties, emphasizing the company's strength in the market and its stance on the social challenges facing the betting industry.
"It was a process of mutual understanding. We understand Betano's role in this growing world , which also brings challenges. They expressed concern about this," said the Flamengo president.
The president noted that the sponsorship extends beyond the main team, also encompassing the club's other sports: " Flamengo is much more than a football club . It's a nation, with many dimensions and tribes : rowing, basketball, volleyball, judo, swimming, artistic sports—in short, so much more," Bap emphasized.
Jokingly, Bap stated that the partnership could elevate Flamengo to heights never before achieved in its history: " By getting to know each other, we were able to devise a global strategy . Who knows, maybe Flamengo and Betano have discovered that one plus one can make three?" he said.
Betano's debut at the Manto Sagrado is scheduled for the match against Vitória this weekend. Bap concluded by wishing the partnership a positive and lasting one: " May it be a very long-lasting and positive one , both for Flamengo and Betano."
