Flamengo's first‑team coach, Filipe Luiz, is on the brink of leaving the club. The story emerged after reports of disagreement over his contract renewal. The situation has worried fans and the club's management.
According to Brazilian media, Luiz demanded an annual salary of five million euros, plus bonuses for each title won. The request was considered excessive by the board, labeling it an extravagant proposal. A low release clause was also included if an outside offer arrived.
With negotiations stalled, Flamengo is looking at hiring another coach. Luiz took over mid‑2024 and won the Copa de Brasil shortly thereafter. The club’s future hinges on how this dispute is resolved.
