It seems that Atletico Madrid has officially begun planning for the post-Diego Simeone era, as the website "Fichajes" revealed that the club has included Felipe Luis among the top candidates to take charge of the team in the near future.

Felipe Luis, who is currently coaching the Brazilian team Flamengo, has achieved notable successes since taking over in 2024, after working with the youth teams at the club, where he won the Copa do Brasil and the local Super Cup, making him one of the prominent names in the coaching world in Brazil.

According to the same source, Luis is characterized by a coaching style similar to Simeone's approach, which relies on defensive solidity, teamwork, and tactical discipline—traits that align with Atletico Madrid's philosophy known since Simeone took charge of the team.

Club officials believe that Felipe Luis is a logical choice to succeed Simeone, especially since he knows the club well after spending many years as a player in its shirt, embodying the fighting spirit and loyalty that have become part of the team's identity.

The report indicated that the Brazilian coach is gaining increasing European interest, while Flamengo is looking to renew his contract until 2027 to keep him amid expectations that Atletico Madrid could be his next destination after Simeone's departure.

Thus, Felipe Luis emerges as the strongest candidate to succeed the Argentine coach in the future, allowing Atletico Madrid to continue its journey with the same spirit and style that characterized it during Simeone's era.
