The announcement came just hours after the 8-0 victory over Madureira, which secured qualification for the final of the Campeonato Carioca. "Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that, starting this Tuesday (3), Filipe Luís will no longer be in charge of the professional team. Along with him, Ivan Palanco (assistant coach) and Diogo Linhares (fitness coach) also leave the club," read the club's statement. "Flamengo thanks former athlete and coach Filipe Luís for everything that was achieved and shared during this journey. The club wishes him success and good luck in the continuation of his professional career," the statement added. According to Brazilian media, the decision came from the club's management, which moved to dismiss him after the match. As the second coach with the most titles in the club's history, alongside Jorge Jesus and Flávio Costa — Copa do Brasil 2024, Supercup 2025, Carioca 2025, Libertadores 2025, and Brasileirão 2025 — the coach could not withstand the worst start to a season for the club in the last 10 years, having lost the Supercup of Brazil to Corinthians and the Recopa Sudamericana to Lanús.
