For several weeks now, there have been rumors that Paulo Víctor, André Jardine’s assistant coach, was being monitored by the Brazilian National Team.

André himself acknowledged this situation, although he clarified that nothing was official since there were several candidates and Paulo was simply one of those interviewed.

But today it has become official that Paulo Víctor will be the new head coach of the Brazil U-20 National Team, with his sights set on the 2028 Olympic Games.

A significant loss for América.

It will be a very significant loss, as Paulo has been Jardine’s ‘right hand’ since his arrival at Club América. André Jardine decided that Paulo Víctor would be his assistant coach, bringing him directly from Palmeiras in Brazil.

Paulo’s job was to analyze opponents and tactical schemes, making him a very important piece of the coaching staff. We’ll have to wait and see whom André announces as his new assistant.

Although it is curious that his departure comes right now, especially since he has been key in negotiations for players such as Raphael Veiga, whom he met at Palmeiras, and Vinicius Lima.

But it is understandable, as this is a great opportunity for his coaching career, so we wish him all the success and thank him for everything he did with Club América.
