"Creating Players for Great Success."

International Football Coach · Player Development Specialist
São Paulo, Brazil · Brazilian Nationality

I began my soccer career playing professionally in Brazil, and for more than 25 years I've lived this game — first as a player, then as a coach. Over the last 19 years, I've had the privilege of coaching professional soccer in mainland Japan and Okinawa. My goal has always been the same: to pass on the passion, perseverance, and effort every player needs to reach their goals — and their highest level.
