Filipe Luis is preparing for a jump into European management this summer, and even Chelsea are making checks on the former Flamengo boss.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite Xabi Alonso looking like the Blues\u2019 priority right now, a fascinating alternative for the Chelsea vacancy is former defender Filipe Luis. <\/p>\n

\n

The Brazilian has had his own success in South America, where he delivered the Copa Libertadores title. <\/p>\n

Adding fuel to the speculation, Luis was recently spotted in London sharing a dinner with his former teammate and Chelsea icon Thiago Silva. The meeting has sparked hopes of a potential dream team coaching partnership, but that looks extremely unlikely. <\/p>\n

Filipe Luis has his sights set on a job in Europe<\/h2>\n

According to Fabrizio Romano on X, former Flamengo manager Filipe Luis is ready for a new chapter in Europe this summer.<\/p>\n

As reported two days ago, he\u2019s open to a new club, and his camp has started working on options for the Brazilian coach.<\/p>\n

Filipe was on the BlueCo list last January during the Chelsea\/Strasbourg changes.<\/p>\n

However, the one thing that will potentially rule Luis out of becoming the next Chelsea boss is the fact that the Blues owners are moving away from inexperience and going for a manager who has been at the highest level, after the Liam Rosenior experiment. <\/p>\n

A move to Crystal Palace makes more sense<\/h2>\n

Filipe Luis making the move to Crystal Palace instead of Chelsea could be the smarter play for his European managerial debut. <\/p>\n

Chelsea represents chaos, whereas Palace offers a more stable environment to prove worth, with Oliver Glasner departing after a historic run to the Conference League final. <\/p>\n

After all, we saw how Frank Lampard has done in the Championship with Coventry City, at a club where the expectations were low after joining them in 17th position. <\/p>\n
