Copa Libertadores-winning coach Filipe Luís fired by Flamengo after 8-0 win

Defending South American and Brazilian champion Flamengo fired coach Filipe Luís on Tuesday, just hours after his team won 8-0 in a Rio de Janeiro league semifinal. Only two month ago, Luís extended his contract at Flamengo to the end of 2027. Despite thrashing tiny Madureira 8-0 late Monday and 11-0 on aggregate, fans booed Flamengo team throughout the game.
