Atlético de Madrid has positioned Filipe Luís, the 41-year-old coach of AS Monaco, as the primary choice for Enrique Cerezo to take over the helm of the red and white team starting from the next season. An important change in the future of Atlético.

As revealed by France Football this Monday, September 7, 2026, the Madrid board has begun the search for a successor to Diego Pablo Simeone, whose contract expires at the end of this season following the recent defeat against Athletic Club in LaLiga.

Filipe Luís's Coaching Career from Brazil to AS Monaco

The 41-year-old Brazilian coach started his coaching career in the youth teams of Flamengo after retiring as a professional footballer, subsequently earning a promotion to the first team of the Rio de Janeiro club. At Flamengo, he won 1 Serie A title, 1 Copa do Brasil, 1 Supercup, 2 regional tournaments, and 1 Copa Libertadores before concluding his tenure at the South American club.

At the start of the 2026-2027 season, the coach took charge of AS Monaco in Ligue 1. The Principality club currently leads the French league with 9 points from 9 possible in the first 3 matches, including a recent victory against Paris Saint-Germain managed by Luis Enrique.

The Conclusion of Diego Pablo Simeone's Contract at the Metropolitano

The planning by the Atlético de Madrid leadership corresponds to the deadline set in Diego Pablo Simeone's contract, which runs until June 30, 2027. The lack of titles in recent seasons and the recent results compelled the board to evaluate tactical alternatives for the upcoming season.

The coaching profile of the Brazilian coach has the approval of President Enrique Cerezo and the sporting management due to his knowledge of the inner workings of the Madrid club. Sources close to the coach confirm his willingness to take on the position in the Spanish capital.

The Atlético de Madrid board will monitor the first team's performance in LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League over the next 6 months. Enrique Cerezo and the technical secretariat plan to have formal discussions with Filipe Luís' representatives in March 2027 to outline the contract conditions before the end of the season.
