Among his achievements Luis, who won the Premier League as part of Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea in 2015, guided Flamengo to Copa Libertadores glory in 2025.
In doing so, Luis became the ninth man to win the competition both as a player and as a coach, having claimed the trophy twice with Flamengo in 2019 and 2022.
He also claimed Serie A, Copa do Brasil, Supercopa do Brasil, Campeonato Carioca, Fifa Challenger Cup and Fifa Derby of the Americas honours during his tenure, having previously led Flamengo’s Under-17 and Under-20 sides to league titles.
Flamengo also reached the last 16 of last summer’s Fifa Club World Cup, losing 4-2 to Bayern Munich after beating eventual winners Chelsea to top their group.
The Brazilians are 11th in the league table this season, having won one, drawn one and lost one from their first three matches.
They trail leaders Palmeiras by six points, albeit with a game in hand.
