Atlético de Madrid is already planning for the post-Simeone future, and the name gaining strength within the club is Filipe Luis. The red-and-white board, aware that Diego Pablo Simeone's era will not last forever, has received the direct recommendation from the Argentine coach to consider the former Brazilian full-back as his successor on the Metropolitano's bench.

Although there are no immediate signs that El Cholo will end his successful tenure, the club's offices are already paving the way for a possible decision by the coach to close his chapter after over a decade at the helm of the team. In this scenario, Filipe Luis emerges as the ideal candidate: he knows the club's philosophy perfectly, was a key piece in the project's best years, and currently excels as a coach in Brazil.

Filipe Luis, the chosen one to be Simeone's successor

Currently leading Flamengo, the former colchonero player has managed to impose an offensive and competitive style that has allowed him to be a standout figure both in the Brasileirao and the Copa Libertadores. His coaching record is remarkable: 36 wins, 12 draws, and just 5 losses, along with three titles in his short career as a coach, including the Copa de Brasil and the Supercopa de Brasil.

His profile fits the red-and-white DNA, and his emotional connection with the fans makes him a natural candidate to lead Atlético's next era. The board is clear in its intention: not to rush any changes but to be prepared to make a significant move when Simeone decides to step down. Filipe Luis is already on the list. And it's not by chance.
