01 — PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
A way of understanding football
The game starts
with people.
I am a football professional with experience both on the field and as part of coaching staffs in diverse contexts and cultures.
My approach integrates player development with collective performance. I communicate ideas in a simple, direct and action-oriented manner so each player can understand the game and make better decisions.
“High standards and respect do not compete. They need each other.”
International experience
“Enhance individual talent and orient each player’s commitment to the service of the team.”
