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 over Madureira, 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 an 11‑0 aggregate win and a place in the Campeonato Carioca final.

Luis, 40, guided Flamengo to seven titles in 100 matches, including the 2025 Copa Libertadores, and previously won the Premier League with Chelsea in 2015.
