After a year and two months at the helm of Flamengo, coach Filipe Luis is making great strides to put his name on the list of the club’s most historic coaches, by winning his fifth title with the red and black. With the victory over Ceara at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, the team led by the former left-back became champions of the Brazilian championship for the ninth time.
In his meteoric career, in addition to the Brazilian League, the coach won three more titles in 2025: the Carioca Championship, the Brazilian Super Cup and the Libertadores. The first title he won outside the four lines was the Brazilian Cup in 2024.
Then coach of the Red and Black U20 national team, Filipe Luis won the Intercontinental title over Olympiacos from Greece. Good performances for the club saw him quickly promoted to the position of head coach of the main team at the end of the season, in September 2024, with Tite being sacked.
On the eve of the Brazilian Cup semi-final, the coach not only qualified the team against Corinthians, but also reached the final and beat Atlético MG (4-2 on aggregate).
With the beginning of 2025, Flamengo won another title under the leadership of Filipe Luis, this time in the Brazilian Super Cup. The competition, which was decided in one match, put Flamengo face to face with Botafogo, with Rubro Negro winning 3-1, and Bruno Henrique shining by scoring two goals.
Philip Luis’ third trophy with Flamengo came in the 2025 Campeonato Carioca. The team performed strongly throughout the competition, playing 11 matches in the group stage, achieving 7 victories, two draws and two defeats, scoring 25 goals and conceding only 5 goals.
In the finals, Flamengo faced Fluminense, and after winning the first match 2-1, it won the title with a goalless draw in the second match. This title marks the Flamengo’s 39th state championship.
Last Saturday, Filipe Luis won his fourth title as Flamengo coach: the Copa Libertadores. The red and black team beat Palmeiras, in Lima, Peru, 1-0, becoming four-time champions of the competition.
