From youth coach to technical director

I started in 2001 as fitness coach of América-MG’s U-17s. At Cruzeiro, I coached every youth age group up to the unbeaten 2010 Brazilian U-20 title. Then came professional football, Petro de Luanda in Angola, technical coordination at Vasco and, today, the technical direction of Al Riyadh Academy.
