00:00If we suffer a comeback tonight, tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. sharp I want Philippe and Luiz at the club.
00:04Madrid, that's clear.
00:05Because yes, it's a bit of a surprise today, but Philippe and Luiz were fired from Flamengo.
00:09Yet remember, in 2025 he contributed to the club's glory; he brought them a Super Cup.
00:13from Brazil, a Carioca championship,
00:15the Brazilian championship but especially the Copa Libertadores which, as you may recall, is the equivalent of the League of
00:20Champions, but in South America.
00:22If you're good at math, you must have counted the 5 trophies won in 2025, especially Flamengo.
00:26will go to the Intercontinental Cup final
00:28and will lose to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties.
00:30I remind you that we are talking about the reigning European champions, you can feel it in the match, he's at 69
00:34% win rate,
00:35In December, so less than three months ago, it was extended until 2027.
00:38Anyway, as you've probably gathered, everything seemed to be going very well between Philippe and Luiz and Flamengo.
00:43But what happened that caused everything to fall apart in just 3 months?
00:45So, if we're talking about official points, Flamengo lost the Brazilian Super Cup against Corinthians.
00:49loses the Recopa against Anus, in the league the club is 11th after 3 matchdays so there is
00:54Really, no drama whatsoever.
00:55But this year, across all competitions, there have been 5 defeats in 11 matches.
00:59Last night his Flamengo played against Madureira and his team won 8-0.
01:03And while Philippe and Luiz normally hold their press conference,
01:06The club's sporting director arrives a few minutes later to tell him that he is
01:09Fired.
01:10Philippe and Luiz himself don't understand, nor do the players, because, well,
01:13Okay, the start of the season wasn't exceptional, but there was no Mordom as a European equivalent.
01:17It's as if Luis Enrique, after bringing the Champions League and all the others back to Paris Saint-Germain...
01:22national trophies,
01:22He was fired because he allegedly lost the UFA Super Cup to Tottenham.
01:25and would have lost the Champions Trophy against Olympique de Marseille.
01:28Well, you understand that there are other things under the boat,
01:31Unofficially, he had never gotten along with his president.
01:34Even back then it wasn't the first choice and contract negotiations were tense.
01:38According to the Brazilian press, Flamingo's management has reportedly discovered contacts between Philippe and Luiz and Chelsea.
01:43Because remember when Liam Rosinor left Strasbourg for Chelsea,
01:46It was necessary to replace him in Strasbourg.
01:47It is in this context that Chelsea contacted Philippe and Luiz.
01:50Also remember that Philippe and Luiz have already played at Chelsea, so naturally he was more willing to negotiate.
01:54But when he understood that it was to go to Strasbourg first, he refused.
01:58The club president discovered this and decided to fire him immediately.
02:02In any case, I'll conclude with one thing,
02:03I want this man to join the Atletico Madrid staff as soon as possible.
02:06Not to replace Diego Simon tomorrow, but to keep him on the back burner.
02:09Because if Diego Simon doesn't leave tomorrow,
02:11I want this man to be the future coach of Atletico Madrid.
