During his participation in the videocast “Toca e Passa” (Touch and Pass), published by the newspaper O Globo , René Simões shared behind-the-scenes details of his relationship with Filipe Luís, the current coach of Flamengo. At 72 years old, the experienced coach said he has almost daily conversations with the former full-back, mainly addressing topics related to posture and emotional aspects in football.
According to Simões, the two avoid discussing tactical issues, as they believe that the current coach of Mais Querido has a deep understanding of this field. “You don’t need to talk to him about tactics. This guy and what he knows is absurd,” highlighted René, praising Filipe’s knowledge and reading of the game.
He only thinks about Flamengo” - said coach Renê Simões in an interview
DETERMINATION GETS ATTENTION BEHIND THE SCENES
The veteran coach also highlighted the former player's dedication off the pitch. In one of the reports, he said that Filipe Luís usually responds to messages late at night, often still analyzing his own team's games. "He showed me that he was watching Fla-Flu for the sixth or seventh time," said Simões, pointing out the tireless search for improvements and anticipation of scenarios.
This behavior, according to René, is the key to understanding the success that the coach has been enjoying since taking over the Mengão main team. For him, the current performance is not a coincidence, but a direct result of constant dedication and study. With only a short career as the head of the professional team, Filipe Luís is already seen as one of the most promising prospects of the new generation of Brazilian coaches.
EVERYTHING FLAMENGO NEEDS
“He has a very solid view of football. He has firm convictions and knows exactly what he wants to implement,” Simões said during the chat, highlighting the confidence of the red-and-black coach even with little time in the role. Given Dorival Júnior’s departure from the Brazilian national team, names to replace him began to circulate behind the scenes in football. And Filipe Luís , although new to the role, has already appeared in some of these conversations. For René, however, this possibility is still far away.

Pedro's situation at Flamengo has taken on new chapters in recent days. After being left out of the squad against São Paulo, the striker became a hot topic due to public criticism from the team's coach, Filipe Luís, who cited poor training performance as the reason for his exclusion.
The statement caused discomfort among the player's representatives, who are now considering a possible exit from the club. Behind the scenes, a member of Flamengo's football department even stated that they would accept a €15 million (R$97.5 million) offer to negotiate the player.
BUT AFTER ALL, HOW MUCH IS SHIRT NUMBER 9 WORTH ON THE MARKET?
According to the website Transfermarkt , Pedro is currently valued at €22 million , equivalent to R$143 million at the current exchange rate. So, see what
Evolution of Pedro's market value
- 05/2018 Fluminense €1.5 million
- 02/2019 Fluminense €9 million
- 08/2019 Fluminense €18 million
- 12/2019 Fiorentina €15 million
- 09/2020 Flamengo €12 million
- 05/2021 Flamengo €14 million
- 04/2022 Flamengo €10 million
- 11/2022 Flamengo €20 million
- 07/2023 Flamengo €22 million
- 06/2024 Flamengo €23 million
- 06/2025 Flamengo €22 million
SITUATION AT FLAMENGO
Knee surgery and strain with the coaching staff caused Pedro's market value to stagnate after peaking in 2024. Now, even though he is valued at over R$140 million, Flamengo is considering selling him for much less than the estimated value.
It remains to be seen what the next step in the striker's career will be, and whether any club will be willing to pay the Rubro-Negro's desired price.

Flamengo has officially begun negotiations with Agustín Rossi regarding a possible contract renewal. The Argentine goalkeeper, whose contract runs until December 2027, has expressed his desire to extend his contract with the club, with a salary increase included in the negotiations. The information was released by journalist Gabriel Reis, known as "Paparazzo Rubro-Negro."
EVERYTHING RESOLVED BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND ROSSI
Last Monday (14), Rossi's agent was at Ninho do Urubu to begin talks. The expectation is that the parties will move forward in July to align the terms of a new contract . Internally, the move is seen as a way to value a player who has established himself as a key part of the squad.
Rossi arrived at Flamengo at the start of the 2023 season, after excelling at Boca Juniors. With solid performances and consistency, he quickly assumed a starting position. Since then, he has put in strong performances and provides security in the defense. His current contract runs until the end of 2027, but the player's staff believes a raise is commensurate with his performance.
A TIME OF AFFIRMATION
Despite the interest in keeping Rossi for longer, the club's board, under the leadership of football director José Boto, has prioritized other renewals at the moment. Cases like that of full-back Guillermo Varela, whose contract runs until the end of this year, and midfielder Arrascaeta, whose contract runs until 2026, are on the immediate agenda.
Even without rushing, Rossi 's name is already on the table at the club's management. Boto understands that the appreciation of strategic assets is part of the club's policy, and that the Argentine goalkeeper, given his solid performance, deserves special consideration. The topic should advance in parallel with other areas of the football department.
