Background

Muricy Ramalho is a historic name in Brazilian football, especially for Santos and São Paulo. As a player, Muricy played for Tricolor Paulista in the 1970s, racking up 177 matches for the club.

However, it was as a coach that he gained even more prominence. Muricy began his career on the sidelines as an assistant to the legend Telê Santana, learning a lot before going on to win the many titles he would later achieve as a manager.

With São Paulo, he won the Brazilian Championship three times (2006, 2007, and 2008) and the Copa Libertadores (2005), a feat he repeated with Santos, where he conquered the Americas again in 2011, in addition to winning the Copa do Brasil a year earlier, in 2010.
