It is clear that Filipe Luis will stay at Flamengo for next season. At least that’s what the coach said after winning the Brazilian Championship, his fifth title in just over a year as a professional coach.
– If it were up to me alone, I would be renewed. It doesn’t just depend on me. Of course I want to stay here. I am happy and so is my family. But I must earn the right to sit in this chair. I work every day for this. There are many hours. “And I will continue to do it as long as they let me,” said Filipe Luis, who has a contract until December.
Luiz Eduardo Baptista, BAP, has already made clear Flamengo’s desire to postpone the relationship with the coach. Now Filipe Luis has said he wants to stay. So what do you need to renovate? Here the coach himself responded.
– I have to prepare for the matches against Fluminense and Atletico MG and the Libertadores and Ceara final… How will I find time to do something else? Only phenomenon (can do it) — he said jokingly.
It is now expected that Filipe Luis’ contract will be renewed before the Flamengo delegation’s trip to the Intercontinental, which will be next Saturday. For the first time since 2011, the captain became the first coach to remain coach of the red and black team for an entire season.
