BAP does not guarantee that Filipe Luis will be coach in 2025, if elected

Luiz Eduardo Baptista, BAP, criticized the long contract that the board of directors signed with Filipe Luis

Following Tite’s dismissal, Flamengo promoted Filipe Luis to the position of first-team coach. Initially the club announced that it would be on a temporary basis. However, later, Rubro-Negro reported that they had signed the former full-back until the end of 2025. The long contract angered Luiz Eduardo Baptista, president of the Papua New Guinea Party, who is running for the position of FC Mingao president for the third season 2025-2027. -A period of one year.

— Let’s ask the fan if he thinks it’s reasonable for him to leave, at the end of his tenure, who will go to 11^the The coach, knowing that his term expires on December 31, has signed a contract until the end of 2025. I think this is reckless, disrespectful to the institution, to the fans and, above all, to a beloved and important professional like Filipe Luis. This is not acceptable. Take the case of Cruzeiro, who signed popular Libertadores hero Fernando Diniz and is signed until the end of the year. There will be no change in leadership there. They will analyze the relationship and then see how it goes – said BAP in an interview with journalist Venê Casagrande.

— Flamengo, which constantly makes mistakes with coaches, since the selection process is not technical, is stubborn, and exposes professionals. I intend to change this type of position in the club’s bylaws, if elected, so that the president cannot use the club as if it were his own. The problem is that Flamengo elects a president, and the citizen acts like a king, as if there is no tomorrow. Let’s change that. I respect Filipe Luis a lot, and I hope things go very well, but let’s have a conversation and look forward. It will not involve political retaliation, but this decision, like so many others, is seriously damaging to the club’s financial prospects. — Filter added.
