Palmeiras boss eyed for Brazil U20 job, behind the scenes revealed | OneFootball

The Brazilian Football Confederation is working to hire a new coach for the Brazil Under-20 National Team after the dismissal of Ramon Menezes, and the Palmeiras coach is in their sights.

Palmeiras Coach Targeted

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Lucas Andrade, coach of Verdão’s Under-20 team, was approached in recent hours by people connected to the CBF about the possibility of taking over the national team in this category. The parties are expected to resume official talks after the FIFA international break.

Palmeiras, in turn, sees the interest in the club’s coach as natural, given all the work he has done with titles and player development. The club’s management is waiting and will monitor the conversations between the parties.

Paulo Victor, former coach of Verdão, is another candidate to take over the position left by Ramon Menezes but, according to NP, has not been approached by the CBF.

Refusal from Other Clubs

Recently, Lucas Andrade turned down an offer to manage the professional team of Maringá Futebol Clube, which competes in the Brazilian Serie C.

The coach arrived at Alviverde in 2021 and took charge of the Under-20 team in June 2023 after Paulo Victor left for América-MEX.
