After Tite's resignation from command of Flamengo, fans mobilized on social media asking for patience and support for veteran left-back Felipe Luís, who temporarily took over the coaching position. The movement in support of Felipe has gained strength, especially due to his identification with the club and the services provided over the years. The fans understand that the player should not be held responsible for any mistakes and that his position as interim coach is the result of decisions taken by the Flamengo board.
Early this morning, the board made Tite's departure official after results below expectations and an evident internal dissatisfaction with the team's performance. The news quickly took over the news and social media, generating a series of speculations about who could take over Flamengo permanently. Meanwhile, Felipe Luís was appointed to command the team on a temporary basis, which divided opinions among fans.
In the social networks, fans ask for respect for FIlipe Luís and ask that he not be target of excessive criticism. Comments such as “Felipe Luís is not to blame for the bad management” and “Let's support our idol” multiplied in groups of fans. Part of the fans considers that he, as an athlete and a reference for the club, deserves respect and should not be judged for a role for which he was not previously prepared. Therefore, the request is clear: patience and unconditional support during this moment of transition.
Taking an interim role at a club like Flamengo is a huge challenge for any professional, even more so for someone like Felipe Luís, who is an idol and still active in the squad as a player. The responsibility of managing the team, even temporarily, puts the athlete in a delicate position, especially if we consider the weight that a Flamengo coach carries. If the team does not manage to perform well in the next games, it is almost certain that part of the more impatient fans will look for someone to blame, which could cause unnecessary wear and tear for the left-back.
Despite this, the fans more conscious people ask for caution and for Felipe Luís to be respected as the idol he is. “Felipe has already done a lot for Flamengo on the field. We are not going to burn a player who is our asset”, commented another fan on a social network. The situation opens up a discussion about the responsibility of who should be held responsible for the failures and the crisis within the club.

Filipe Luís, idol and now interim coach of Flamengo, officially took command of the main team this Monday (30). The former player began preparing the squad with the aim of reorganizing the team for the sequence of games. The first training session led by Filipe took place at 3:30 pm (Brasília time) at CT Ninho do Urubu, and marks the beginning of his journey in the new role. The club is confident that his experience on the field will bring immediate benefits to the team.
The announcement of Filipe Luís as interim coach came after the dismissal of the previous coach, who left the position after a series of negative results. As a result, Flamengo's board opted for an internal and temporary solution, betting on a name that knows the squad and has a good relationship with the players. The former left-back, who built a solid and respected career in European and Brazilian football, now faces the challenge of guiding Flamengo to a recovery within the season.
During the first training session, Filipe prioritized tactical organization and defensive positioning, areas that he has always mastered as a player. Ninho do Urubu had an atmosphere of concentration and seriousness, with the athletes responding positively to the new commander's instructions. Filipe Luís also dedicated a significant part of his time to individual conversations with some players, seeking to understand their expectations and align the strategy for the upcoming games.
Filipe Luís' challenge in the Flamengo will not be easy, considering the pressure for results and the club's unstable moment . The board did not determine a specific deadline for the former full-back to remain as interim coach, but the expectation is that he will lead the team until the arrival of a new effective coach. Behind the scenes, it is said that the transition with a name already known internally can help minimize the impacts of drastic changes.
Filipe Luís is a big name in the Flamengo, with a winning record and respect earned on and off the field. The board's confidence in the former player's work is an indication that he will have the freedom to implement some of his tactical ideas, but always with the focus on maintaining the team's balance and competitiveness. According to sources linked to the club, Filipe has the full support of the players and the technical committee, who see in him a positive leadership for the group.
With the beginning of this new cycle, Flamengo hopes to return to the path of victories and stabilize performance within the championship. The fans, who have always been an important force for the club, are already mobilizing to support their idol in this challenge. For now, Filipe Luís' mission will be to organize the house and prepare the squad for the next commitments, while the board defines the team's future coach.

Tite's situation in Flamengohas become increasingly complicated. Although the coach arrived with great expectations and support from the board and fans, recent results and the lack of evolution in the team's performance generated a climate of instability. Tite's possible dismissal, however, still depends on a crucial factor: the outcome of the Copa do Brasil. Despite the internal pressure, Flamengo's board does not intend to make a hasty decision before the end of the competition.
Behind the scenes, support for the coach has decreased significantly. What was previously seen as a signing that could add experience and consistency to the squad, is now considered a gamble that did not yield what was expected. Dissatisfaction is evident both in the football department and among members of the club's leadership, who are already discussing scenarios for the future if Flamengo fails to advance in the Copa do Brasil.
The expectation, however, is that Tite will remain until the end of the tournament, as the competition is treated as the last opportunity for the coach to reverse the situation and justify his stay. The assessment is that, despite the criticism, the team still has a chance of being champion and that changing command at this time could compromise planning and have a negative impact on the athletes' performance.
On the other hand, What can be seen is a change in attitude on the part of leaders who, previously, gave public declarations of trust and support for Tite. Now, communication about the coach's future has become more cautious and reserved, signaling an opening for changes in the technical command. Talks about a possible successor are already circulating behind the scenes, but everything depends on how the next few weeks unfold.
Tite, who arrived at Flamengowith a successful record and strong credentials, was unable to implement a consistent playing style that suits the squad. The lack of tactical variation and fluctuating results called into question his ability to deal with pressure and command a group full of stars. This not only generated distrust among the board, but also had a negative impact on the players, who no longer demonstrated the same level of commitment on the field.
