About Me
With a lifelong passion for sports, I’ve had the privilege of living my dream through football. From playing the game between the ages of 8 and 21, I developed a deep understanding of the sport that would later fuel my coaching career. At 22, I began my journey as a coach, and since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with players of all ages and levels, from youth development to professional football.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the pleasure of coaching talented players such as Bruno Fernandes, André Silva, Nuno Sequeira, Fábio Ronaldo, Vasco Moreira, among others. These experiences have not only honed my coaching skills but also deepened my love for the game.
Beyond football, I’m also passionate about motorsports. When I’m not on the sidelines, you can find me hitting the trails on my enduro ktm quad, pushing my limits, testing my endurance and sharing some good time with friends.
Whether on the pitch or off-road, I’m committed to living life to the fullest and pursuing my passions with dedication and enthusiasm.
