Filipe Luís: From Lifting the Libertadores as a Player… to Winning It Again as a Coach!

Filipe Luís made history with Flamengo! In 2019, he watched Gabigol score two unforgettable goals against River Plate as he lifted the Copa Libertadores as a player. And in 2025, he returned as Flamengo’s coach — watching Danilo score the winning header and lifting the same trophy again… this time from the sidelines. A legendary journey from player to coach, and one of the most unique achievements in South American football history. 🔥 A tribute to Filipe Luís, Gabigol 2019, and Flamengo’s 2025 champions.

Never 'eard of 'im, never 'eard of 'im, don't know him, Samba? We'll 'av 'im

With Tottenham's search for a defender well-documented, it seems Harry Redknapp has met his match in the most ironic of circumstances.

Fresh from his insightful analysis of Santos and Brazil midfielder Ganso, where he claimed to have never heard of the young star, his knowledge of Samba footballers seems to have redeemed itself.

However, it is the signature of Blackburn and Congo defender Christopher Samba that has now stirred his imagination. The burly stopper has long been linked with moves away from Ewood Park after forging a hugely successful career so far in the Premier League.
