Bangu introduced former midfielder Thiago Neves this Monday as the new coach of the under-20 team for the remainder of the season. This will be the ex-player’s first experience as a professional coach since retiring in 2023.
Thiago Neves has already started working with the squad at Moça Bonita, aiming for continuity in the Copa Rio Sub-20. The coach led his first training session right after the official announcement.
At 41 years old, Thiago Neves begins his journey on the sidelines after building a career marked by titles and notable stints at clubs such as Fluminense, Flamengo, Grêmio, and Cruzeiro, in addition to call-ups to the Brazilian National Team.
After hanging up his boots, the former midfielder completed the CBF’s B License Coaching and Sports Management courses, qualifying him to begin his path in the technical area.
Thiago’s debut as head coach of the under-20 team will be this Wednesday, at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), against Fluminense, at Estádio Marcelo Vieira, in a match valid for the Copa Rio in the category.
