Massis shakes up São Paulo’s youth setup, check it out | OneFootball

Since taking over as president of São Paulo, Harry Massis has been implementing changes in the management of Tricolor. Now, the president is restructuring the management of the club’s youth divisions. The goal of these changes is to restructure the processes of the Athletes Training Center (CFA) in Cotia.

Massis will bring Marcos Biasotto, former youth executive, back to the position. In December, the professional had changed roles and taken a post in the professional football department, assisting young players in their transition. Now, Biasotto is expected to return as executive director. The information was initially reported by UOL and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

José Roberto Canassa, a lifelong São Paulo advisor, is also expected to rejoin the youth division’s management to take on an administrative position at the CFA. He has previously held the same role in 1999 and 2017.

In addition to the returns, Douglas Schwartzmann remains removed from the position of assistant director of the youth division. In December 2025, the executive took a leave of absence after the revelation of an audio indicating his involvement in an alleged ticket resale scandal for concerts in a box at Morumbis.

Although the leave does not indicate a definitive removal, president Harry Massis considers that Schwartzmann is already out of the board. He is also under investigation by the Ethics Committee of São Paulo’s Deliberative Council. An opinion will be sent to the Council, which should put the matter to a vote for a possible internal punishment.

For now, Francesco Moretto, Tião Gouveia, and José Inocenccio are expected to remain as assistant directors of the youth division, but they are also under internal evaluation, according to UOL.
