This Friday, the 10th, Ceará announced the signing of Carlos Larocca as the new assistant coach for the club’s Under-20 team. With extensive experience and a strong résumé, the 33-year-old professional joins the staff led by head coach Rogério Ferreira for the remainder of the season, replacing Mateus Oliveira.

Seeking to further raise the level of player development at Cidade Vozão, home of Alvinegro’s youth academy, the People’s Team has invested in the arrival of Carlos Larocca to strengthen the group for the Brazilian Under-20 Championship, the Ceará Under-20 Championship, the Fares Lopes Cup, and the São Paulo Junior Football Cup.

Born in the capital of Ceará, Carlos Larocca began his football journey in 2012, when he had a brief spell as a player for Independiente/ARG, the country where his family lived. After ending his career on the pitch, Larocca began his path on the sidelines. Since then, he has dedicated more than 10 years to youth football, with spells at Fluminense, Bahia, and Fortaleza.

Holding a degree in Physical Education from the University of Fortaleza (Unifor), the new assistant has PRO coaching licenses from the Argentine Football Coaches Association (ATFA) and CONMEBOL. In addition, Larocca is also a performance analyst certified by ATFA.

With a successful career and titles in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, and Chile, Larocca is Fluminense’s most successful international youth coach, having led the Under-16 and Under-17 teams.

At Bahia, where he coached the Under-16 team until June of this year, he won the Nordestinho Cup and the Integration Cup. At Fortaleza, he won the state title as Under-17 head coach and the regional title as Under-20 assistant coach.
