The 40-year-old Brazilian signed through June 2028 after leading Flamengo to the Brazilian title and the Copa Libertadores in 2025.
- On Monday, Monaco hired Brazilian coach Filipe Luis on a contract through June 2028, tasking the 40-year-old with leading the club's new project.

- Luis stated, "Big early tasks will be to keep Monaco," targeting retention of United States World Cup striker Folarin Balogun and France attacking midfielder Maghnes Akliouche.
- Monaco will compete in the Conference League playoffs next month after missing Champions League qualification, having lost 5-4 on aggregate to Paris Saint-Germain in their playoff.
