🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The President of Flamengo discovered that Filipe Luís was NEGOTIATING with Chelsea’s ownership group, BlueCo, while the club was actively working to renew his contract.
Filipe reportedly stopped responding to Flamengo’s messages for 3 days, believing he was set to become Chelsea’s new head coach.
However, BlueCo later informed him that the plan was for him to take charge of Strasbourg, not Chelsea. The Brazilian was not interested and subsequently resumed talks with Flamengo.
Once Flamengo’s president learned of the situation, it proved to be the final straw, leading to Filipe Luís’ dismissal.

@CitehLeo@imteayazz@BrasilEdition he's a great coach and it already looks bad lol. flamengo is known for always having drama within the club. its crazy
@CitehLeo@imteayazz@BrasilEdition yeah so our director decided to sack him cause he was in talks with Strasbourg and his ego was hurt basically. (keep in mind FL was at the end of his contract so he definitely had the right to explore his options)
@CitehLeo@imteayazz@BrasilEdition well from what i've seen. they are obligated to pay him his normal monthly salary until his contract ends/he joins another club. also nobody wanted him gone. theres been reports that the players themselves are furious with the decision
@CitehLeo @agnere12 @imteayazz@BrasilEdition as a flamengo fan myself i can say its a mix of everything. yes we were disappointed with the form but i'd say most of the fans were demanding improvements and not demanding for him to be sacked.
@CitehLeo@imteayazz@BrasilEdition well based on the reports it seems like its a combination of wages + FL stalling to see if chelsea was going to approach him (it was strasbourg and after he found out he accepted the renewal with flamengo)
