Watch out, Crespo! Allan Barcellos stays at São Paulo for a year | OneFootball

The sensation coach of São Paulo's under-20 team, Allan Barcellos, has signed a contract renewal with the Tricolor until the end of 2027, as announced by the club this Thursday (22). The previous agreement between the parties was valid until January of next year.

With the Tricolor's youth team, the young 33-year-old coach won the Brazilian Under-20 Cup twice (2024 and 2025) and the Copinha (2025). Today, he is competing for another spot in the final of the country's main youth tournament, in a match against Ibrachina at Morumbi, in pursuit of the double title.

With Crespo still not fully taking off as the head of São Paulo's professional team, many fans have been calling for Barcellos to be promoted to the senior team for some time now.

The recent success of the coach at São Paulo even led to the Brazilian Under-20 National Team considering Allan Barcellos for the position, currently vacant after Ramon Menezes was dismissed at the end of last season. However, the coach chose to continue his path with the Tricolor. Some Brazilian clubs, such as Palmeiras and Atlético-MG, have also shown interest in the manager in recent months.

Allan arrived in Cotia in 2022, coming from Grêmio, and before taking over the juniors, he went through the Under-12, Under-13, Under-14, Under-15, Under-16, and Under-17 categories.

“Very happy and motivated with the renewal of my contract. Grateful to everyone who has been and is part of this wonderful moment for me and my entire family, especially to São Paulo Futebol Clube, for the privilege, trust, and opportunity. We continue together,” celebrated the coach.

For São Paulo, Allan Barcellos has a record of 203 games, with 124 wins, 43 draws, and 36 losses, in addition to 501 goals scored and 194 conceded.
