Filipe Luís, former Flamengo coach, has been announced as the new coach of Monaco. The contract was officially signed until June 2028.

Who is Filipe Luís?

Filipe Luís retired as a player in November 2023 and began his coaching career with Flamengo's under-17 team. In March 2024, he took over the under-20 team and won the World Cup in the category.

Why was he sacked by Flamengo?

Filipe Luís was sacked by Flamengo in March 2026, after the team experienced its worst start to a season in the last 10 years. At that time, the club had lost the Brazilian Supercup to Corinthians and the Recopa Sudamericana to Lanús.
