Mirassol announce new deal for manager Rafael Guanaes | OneFootball

The Mirassol announced on Tuesday the contract renewal with coach Rafael Guanaes. The 44-year-old coach has had his contract extended until the end of the 2026 season.

“The year 2025 was extremely challenging and 2026 will be even more so! The fans' call was answered. Rafael Guanaes STAYS for the 2026 season. Gratitude for believing in our project in 2025 and even more in 2026,” announced the club in a social media post.

After a stint at Atlético-GO, Rafael Guanaes took over the command of Mirassol in March, replacing Eduardo Barroca. Since then, he has led the team from the interior of São Paulo to 17 victories, 12 draws, and only six defeats, as well as an unprecedented qualification for the 2026 Copa Libertadores.

In the Brazilian Championship, Mirassol comes from a victory against Ceará, 3-0, which practically guaranteed the club a direct spot in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. The Lion appears in fourth position on the table, with 63 points – seven more than Bahia, the first team outside the G5.
