Filipe Luis Sacked by Flamengo After 8-0 Win

Flamengo announced the dismissal of former Chelsea defender and manager Filipe Luis at 00:59 local time, hours after the club’s 8‑0 second‑leg victory over Madureira that secured an 11‑0 aggregate win and a place in the Campeonato Carioca final.

Luis’s 100 matches in charge yielded seven trophies, including the 2025 Copa Libertadores, Serie A, Copa do Brasil, Supercopa do Brasil, Campeonato Carioca, FIFA Challenger Cup and FIFA Derby of the Americas. He also guided Flamengo to Libertadores titles in 2019 and 2022, becoming the ninth coach to win the competition as both player and manager.
