After an 8-0 victory, Felipe Luis, 40, steps down after 99 games and 5 titles with Flamengo.

This is not a dismissal; rather, the coach "fired" the club and is most likely heading to Europe. According to an official announcement from the Brazilian powerhouse Flamengo, championship-winning young manager Felipe Luis will no longer serve as head coach. The club made the announcement following their 8-0 thrashing of Madureira.

The 40-year-old Felipe Luis began his tenure at Flamengo in late September 2024. Over his time in charge, he led the team in 99 matches across all competitions, achieving an impressive record of 62 wins, 21 draws, and 16 losses, with a win rate of 62.6%. During this period, he guided Flamengo to five titles:the Copa do Brasil (2024), the Brazilian Super Cup (2025), the Campeonato Carioca (2025), the Copa Libertadores (2025), and the Brasileirão Série A (2025).However, the team recently lost the new season's Super Cup to Corinthians and the Recopa Sudamericana to Lanús, which may have been significant factors in Felipe Luis's departure.

Flamengo was Felipe Luis's first managerial role at a professional first-team level. In his debut, he achieved the remarkable feat of winning five trophies in 99 games, establishing himself as a genuine title-winning coach. As a player, Felipe Luis featured for La Liga's Deportivo La Coruña and Atlético Madrid, as well as Chelsea in the Premier League, winning league titles in both Spain and England.

Following his exit from Flamengo, Felipe Luis's next move is expected to be a managerial position at a top European club. Fans hope to see him coaching in a European league soon.
