Flamengo Keeps Faith on the Touchline: Felipe Luis Signs On Through 2027
Flamengo extends coach Felipe Luis as the club eyes more glory.

Contract extension and club direction

Flamengo announced on Monday that it has extended coach Felipe Luis's contract for two more seasons, keeping him at the club through early winter of 2027.

Jose Botto, Flamengo's chief executive, told the club site that positive results only came from a genuine joint will to keep the project alive and a shared readiness to align interests for a balanced, sustainable agreement.

Club’s emotional bond and recent achievements

The club's statement described the renewal as a continuation of a long relationship between Felipe Luis and Flamengo.

The coach, a Flamengo supporter since childhood, built a deep emotional bond with the club on the pitch as a player and now from the touchline.

The renewal confirms confidence in ongoing work and a commitment to ensure future years bring more success, professional growth, and achievements.

Luis has collected several titles with Flamengo in recent seasons, including the Brazilian league, the Libertadores Cup, the Copa Interamericana, and the Recopa.

Flamengo also reached the Intercontinental Cup final before losing to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties. Fans will hope this two-year collaboration continues to deliver trophies and pride for Flamengo's supporters — Two-year deals are like espresso—short, intense, and best served with silverware. If patience were a football field, Flamengo would own the stadium.
