Filipe Luis Sacked by Flamengo After 8-0 Win

Former Chelsea defender Filipe Luis was sacked by Flamengo just hours after the club's 8‑0 win, ending his 100‑match spell that yielded seven trophies.

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

Luis, who led Flamengo to seven titles in 100 matches, including the 2025 Copa Libertadores, also won the Premier League with Chelsea in 2015 and guided the club to multiple domestic and international honours.
