DIRECTOR & HEAD COACH

Having played football at a high level in countries such as Brazil, Spain, England and Australia, I'm now looking to pass on my knowledge to the next generation. Through my technical focused, and strength & conditioning sessions, my players have all seen dramatic improvements in their performance.

MY STORY

Growing up in Sydney, Australia surrounded by a Brazilian family who was obsessed with football, it was clear from a young age that this was going to be a big part of my life. I instantly fell in love with it and before long, my dream was to become a professional football player.

My family have always been very big on travelling, so from a young age I was lucky enough to travel the world and experience playing football in many countries; Brazil and Portugal being the ones I remember most. Experiencing that showed me that football is more than just a game, for some people, it's their only way out of poverty. They need to perform well, not only because they want to be a footballer, but because if they didn't they wouldn't be able to put dinner on the table for their family.

Since transitioning into coaching in 2023 after a short professional career, my goal has remained the same; to help develop as many young players as possible, and give opportunities to those who deserve it most.
