São Paulo youth coach and serial winner eyed for senior role | OneFootball

The coach Allan Barcellos, from São Paulo's under-20 team, once again finishes the season on a high note and is sought after in the market. The young coach, only 33 years old, ends the year with another title, his second Copa do Brasil championship, won by Tricolor last Tuesday (9).

Coaching different youth categories in Cotia since 2022, Allan quickly rose and in 2024 was promoted to lead the under-20 team. Success was immediate. In the same year, he won the Copa do Brasil in the category, and this season he started by winning the traditional Copinha, in addition to ending with a new national cup title.

With so much success, he remains on the radar of some clubs in the country, already eyeing Barcellos as a coach in the professional league. A team from São Paulo made inquiries about the coach last week to take over their professional team, as reported by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR.

The gaucho, however, despite evaluating the proposal, decided to stay at São Paulo, with whom he has a contract until January 2027.

Besides this offer, Allan Barcellos' advisory confirmed that the professional was also approached by the youth director of another major national club with a proposal, once again declined by the coach. The names of the clubs were not disclosed.

Allan Barcellos joined Tricolor in 2022 to lead the under-13 team. The following year he took over the under-15 and shortly after was promoted to the under-17 tricolor team.

The São Paulo under-20 team was not doing well at all until Barcellos joined the team in 2024. Besides the three trophies won, he was also twice runner-up in the Paulistão of the category.

Internally, Allan is highly regarded, even with the possibility of eventually taking over the main Tricolor team, which was previously done with André Jardine. For now, he continues to lead the young players, where he will seek the Copinha title again starting in January 2026.

This year, he had a great campaign with the team, with 61 matches played, totaling 35 wins, 15 draws, and only ten losses. São Paulo scored 123 goals, conceding 58.
