During these talks, Luis reportedly went silent on Flamengo for three days. He initially believed he was discussing a role at Chelsea, only to learn the position was actually for the French club, Strasbourg. Realising this, he returned to negotiations with the Brazilian giants, but the damage was already done. Bap felt deeply betrayed by the clandestine meetings, which accelerated the decision to sack the 38-year-old coach despite his recent domestic victories.
