Since December 2022, I have been the Technocal Diretor of the FC Famalicao SAD Youth Academy. Always focusing on the development of our game and our players (from U16 to U23).In February 2020, I started as technical director of youth football of Vitoria Sport Clube.The achievements were many and important at sports and structural level during these 25 months. We touched the foundations of the department and brought the club closer to the rivals.I started the season 2019/2020 as assistant coach of SC Braga. I was co-responsible of the entire training process of the professional team of SC Braga in the 1st Portuguese League, Europa League, Portuguese Cup and Allianz Cup.I decided to leave the club in November 13th because of personal reasons.The previous 7 seasons I was with FC Porto as Technical Coordinator of their Football Schools. This youth segment of FC Porto branded as “Dragon Force” works very closely and is seamlessly aligned with the FC Porto Academy and in fact circa 33% of all the Academy players are sourced from our Dragon Force development centers, evidence of the significant importance of the DF operation.In that job role, I traveled extensively through at least 10 countries (England, USA, Canada, Colombia, South Africa, Mexico, Luxembourg, Spain, China...) to set-up, plan and execute International Camps.I spent an entire season in Colombia (2014-2015) and played the lead role in opening of the FC Porto Dragon Force project in Bogota. That youth project has indeed proved successful for FC Porto in terms of talent ID, with the club signing professional contracts with 2 young players who were sourced from that Dragon Force Bogota soccer school.I have represented FC Porto many times a key note speaker at football seminars and conventions.Prior to FC Porto, I was in UD Leiria during the 2010-2011 season in a technical role, assisting the lead coach Pedro Caixinha. A season of success of the club with excellent sports and financial results due to the sale of some of the best players in December, when we were in an historical 4th place in the Portuguese League at the end of the first half of the league. However, the invitation of FC Porto in the end of the season made me leave the club and start a new challenge.I have also written a book on football training methodologies; that book is now in its 2nd edition. In addition to my native Portuguese, I speak Spanish and English.I have in total 18 years of experience as a football coach, at all levels from youth to professional.
