Filipe Luis wins three trophies as Flamengo's head coach
A former Chelsea star has made an impressive start to his managerial career. After retiring from playing in 2023, he took over as head coach of Flamengo in September 2024. Since then, he has led the team to a remarkable 24-game winning streak. He has secured three trophies while losing only one match out of 27 games. His achievements in a short time have caught the attention of fans and pundits alike. In November 2024, he won the Copa do Brasil by defeating Atletico Mineiro 4-1 on aggregate. His team continued their success in February 2025 with a 3-1 victory over Botafogo, claiming the Supercopa do Brasil. Most recently, he guided Flamengo to another trophy by winning the Rio de Janeiro state championship. The manager, Filipe Luis, is known for his past playing experience with clubs like Atletico Madrid and Chelsea. He was part of Chelsea's Premier League-winning team in the 2014-15 season. Currently, he has several notable players in his squad, including former Manchester City defender Danilo and former Juventus player Alex Sandro. In a recent interview, Luis also shared a personal regret regarding a comment he made about fellow player Angel Di Maria, indicating the competitive nature of their past encounters.
