Former Chelsea and Atlético Madrid fullback Filipe Luís has been surprisingly sacked by Flamengo, swiftly becoming one of the most decorated managers on the open market at a time of dugout upheaval.
Luís’s dismissal arrived mere hours after overseeing an 8–0 win over Madureira which booked Flamengo’s place in the Campeonato Carioca final. The retired left back had already lifted seven trophies during his 101-game stint in Fla’s dugout, including the most recent top-flight title in Brazil and the 2025 Copa Libertadores, the South American equivalent of the Champions League.
