Flamengo's new interim coach, Filipe Luís, will be officially presented by the directors this Tuesday (1st), at 1:30 pm (Brasília time), in a press conference at CT Ninho do Urubu. After the interview, the coach will proceed to the second training session with the squad, preparing for the clash against Corinthians, valid for the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil. His first activity with the players took place this Monday (30).


Filipe Luístakes on the responsibility of trying to save Flamengo's season, and is expected to remain in charge until the end of Rodolfo Landim's tenure, which ends in December. If he achieves good results, the new board may choose to keep him as coach of the first team, taking into account that the club will have elections on December 9th. Filipe began his career as a coach in 2024.


In the Under-17s, he won the Copa Rio, beating Vasco in São Januário, and later, with the Under-20s, he was champion of the Club World Cup category, defeating Olympiacos at Maracanã. Now, just nine months into his career, Filipe Luís is already taking charge of the professional team.


Filipe Luís and Flamengo

Confirmed Flamengo fan, Filipe Luís arrived at the club in 2019 as a left-back. He was part of the generation that won several titles, such as the Brasileirão (2019 and 2020), Libertadores (2019 and 2022), Copa do Brasil (2022), as well as international and state cups. Now, he has the mission to continue bringing success, but as coach of Flamengo.


First challenge

Filipe Luís' first mission as coach of the main team will be this Wednesday (2), when Flamengo prepares for the duel against Corinthians in the first leg of the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil. The match will be on Wednesday (2) at 9:30 pm, Brasília time, at Maracanã.

The Rio de Janeiro Court ruled on Tuesday (16) that the organized fan group Jovem Fla is banned from attending stadiums for a period of two years. The decision was made by Judge Renato Guarino Martins, responding to an injunction requested by the Public Ministry of the State of Rio de Janeiro (MP-RJ) after new episodes of violence were recorded in early September.


The Specialized Stadium Policing Battalion (BEPE) released a report describing several incidents involving members of Jovem Fla . Among the incidents were reports of fans jumping train turnstiles , damaging a train station, and walking on the tracks, delaying the train's journey.


The Military Police also reported that members of the organized group were caught surfing on buses in the Cidade de Deus and Niterói regions. Fights were also reported on Avenida Brasil, near São Cristóvão, heading towards Maracanã Stadium.


EPISODES OF VANDALISM AND AGGRESSION

According to the lawsuit, one of the members urinated on a police armored vehicle and posted on social media that he "wanted to cause trouble." A merchant also reported the theft of two cases of beer and two cases of soda from the stadium's North Sector.


BEPE also reported the assault suffered by Vasco fans in a bar on Rua Alfredo Valadão , in Copacabana. The court also sent a letter to the Public Prosecutor's Office with information about new episodes of violence involving other organized fan groups, such as Fúria, Força Jovem do Vasco and Jovem do Botafogo .

Flamengo will have significant absences in this Thursday's (17) clash, at 9:30 pm, against Estudiantes, at Maracanã, for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores . Among the big names that will be left out are midfielder Jorginho, full-back Alex Sandro and midfielder Pulgar.


Jorginho will miss the match against Argentina due to muscle swelling in his left thigh . Alex Sandro continues to recover from a left calf injury, while Pulgar is in the final stages of treatment after surgery on his right foot and will still require at least two weeks of physical therapy before returning to the squad.


IMPACT OF EMBARRASSMENTS


With these absences, the coach will have to assemble a team with alternatives for midfield and left back. The likely starting lineup includes: Rossi; Royal (Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saúl, De La Cruz (Allan), Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.

The absences could influence Flamengo 's game strategy, as they seek to advance to the Copa Libertadores semifinals. The return leg will be next week in La Plata, Argentina, against Estudiantes.


POSSIBLE REINFORCEMENTS

Striker Bruno Henrique and full-back Varela are the main names expected to return to the team after being absent last Sunday (14), against Juventude, for the Brazilian Championship. Both trained normally with the team this Tuesday (16).
