Overview
- Flamengo confirmed in a statement that assistants Ivan Palanco and Diogo Linhares were also dismissed.
- The decision follows losses to Corinthians in the Supercopa do Brasil and to Lanús in the Recopa Sudamericana, with Brazilian media describing the club’s worst season start in a decade.
- Multiple outlets report Luís was told by sporting director José Boto immediately after his post‑match press conference, while some journalists said the choice had been made before kickoff.
- Luís departs with 101 matches in charge and a record of 63 wins, 23 draws and 15 defeats, having delivered the Copa do Brasil in 2024 and a Brasileirão–Libertadores double in 2025.
- Local reports name Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim as the leading candidate to replace him, and Luís had extended his contract in December through 2027.
