Ex-Chelsea Luis sacked by Flamengo after 8-0 win

March 3, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Former Chelsea defender Filipe Luis has been sacked as Flamengo manager hours after the Brazilian club secured an 8-0 win to reach the Campeonato Carioca final.

Despite leading Flamengo to seven titles in 100 matches since taking charge in September 2024, Luis was dismissed at 00:59 local time on Tuesday. The 40-year-old, who won the Premier League with Chelsea in 2015, guided the club to Copa Libertadores glory in 2025 and became the ninth man to win the competition both as a player and coach.

Flamengo, who lost back-to-back finals in 2026, will face Fluminense in Sunday's Carioca final but without Luis in charge. The club thanked the former player and coach for his achievements during his tenure.
