Earlier this year, Stefano oversaw Santos 2-0 Red Bull Bragantino at Vila Belmiro in the league.

In 2023 he worked as fourth official in two top-flight Santos matches, a 1-0 win at Vasco in São Januário and a 1-0 loss to Fluminense at the Maracanã. He also performed the same role in the 0-0 draw between Sereinhas da Vila and Flamengo at CT Nova Iguaçu in the Brasileirão Feminino Sub-16.
