Luis sacked after Flamengo 8-0 win

Luis, 40, guided Flamengo to seven titles in 100 matches in charge since joining in September 2024, including the 2025 Copa Libertadores. He became the ninth man to win the competition both as a player and coach, having previously lifted the trophy twice with Flamengo in 2019 and 2022.

The dismissal came despite the club's success, with Flamengo posting a statement confirming Luis, assistant coach Ivan Palanco, and physical trainer Diogo Linhares are all leaving after the 11-0 aggregate victory over Madureira. The club will face Fluminense in Sunday's final, though Luis won't be in charge.
