Flamengo of Brazil has significantly improved the quality of their performances in recent years and this success would not be possible without the head coach Filipe Luis.

Accordingly, the further development of the young 40-year-old coach’s career is expected in the European direction in the near future.

The “red and black” themselves understand the interest in the helmsman, so they are preparing options for his possible replacement in the position.

The media report that Flamengo will try to keep Luis, but in the event that he does not want to extend his contract, which is quite likely amid specific interest from Europe’s top leagues, the Brazilian club have another option.

Portuguese specialist Artur Jorge, 53, is the latest candidate so far with whom Flamengo has held talks, with talks ending in an agreement on personal terms with the potential new coach.

Currently, Georges is in charge of Qatar’s Er-Rayan, but in the event of Filipe Luisa’s departure, he will be ready to immediately take his place.

Prior to that, the helmsman’s career included Portuguese Famalikan, Tirsense, Braga and Brazilian Botafogo.
