The possibility of Filipe Luís remaining in charge of the main squad of Flamengoin 2025 is being discussed behind the scenes. Although the current board sees the continuity of the work as positive, the scenario is not simple due to the club's electoral calendar. The current president, Rodolfo Landim, ends his term at the end of 2024, and the definition of who will lead the technical team will be the responsibility of his successor.
Filipe Luís, who ended his career as a player at the end of 2023, quickly assumed the position of coach of the first team, gaining the trust of the squad and the board. His early work was assessed as promising, especially in group management and the development of young talent. However, staying in the position will depend on who wins the election for the club's presidency. If the opposition wins, new plans can be designed for the football department.
A DIFFERENT MOMENT IN YOUR CAREER
Internally, there is already a consensus on the importance of maintaining stability in the technical command, even more so after a turbulent period in recent years, marked by successive changes of coaches. Filipe Luís is seen as a name that understands Flamengo's culture and has the respect of the squad, in addition to being a low-cost bet with great potential for evolution. However, any long-term decision about its future will be conditioned on the outcome of the election.
With the election year approaching, it is natural that the club will start discussing names for the next administration, both in the administrative area as in the football department. Even with the possible continuity of Filipe Luís being analyzed, the situation will only be defined after Landim's successor has been chosen. The current president, who will not be able to run for re-election, will have an influential role in the process, but it will be the new president who will decide the future of the technical command.
One of the main issues debated internally is whether Flamengo will maintain the current policy of betting on former athletes for management positions in football or whether to look for an outside name with proven experience. Filipe Luís, despite having demonstrated initial competence, is still an unknown as a head coach in high-level competitions. Flamengo's performance in the tournaments that remaining in the 2024 season could also influence the debate, with a possible classification for the Libertadores being a decisive factor for their permanence.
With an almost complete squad and a favorable record, the Rio de Janeiro team is trying to extend its lead against the Bahian team at Maracanã.

Protagonist in Flamengo's U-20 world championship , won last Saturday (23), defender Iago entered the radar of European clubs. According to information from the “GE” portal, teams such as Everton and Brentford, from England , as well as Club Brugge, from Belgium, carried out inquiries for the player.
Despite the interest, none of these teams have formalized an offer. The only concrete offer received so far came from Bahia, at the request of coach Rogério Ceni. The northeastern club submitted a proposal of €2 million (approximately R$12.8 million) , in addition to offering a 20% stake in a future sale. Bahia, however, declined the offer and reiterated that Iago is not available for negotiations.
Iago was decisive in the final against Barcelona (ESP) at the Maracanã Stadium. Mengão was trailing 2-1 and the title seemed to be slipping away, until, in the final minutes, Daniel Sales sent a long ball into the box. The ball found Iago's head, which he lobbed over the goalkeeper, taking the decision to penalties , where the Rio de Janeiro team secured the title.
At 20, Iago still has important commitments in the U-20 category before a possible transition to the main squad. In 2025, he will compete in the U-20 Carioca Championship and the U-20 Copa do Brasil. His successful career includes titles such as the U-17 Copa do Brasil, the U-17 Supercopa do Brasil, the U-20 Brazilian Championship, the U-20 South American Championship, and two U-20 Libertadores titles.
The defender's current contract runs until December 2026, and Flamengo is expected to renew his contract to keep him in the long-term project . However, the situation is being monitored by Volta Redonda, the club that developed Iago in the U-15s and still holds 40% of his economic rights. Currently, Flamengo owns 60% and is considering acquiring an additional 10% for approximately R$500,000.
