Felipe Canavan back with the under-17s this Sunday

Leaders of the Brasileirão U-17, Fluminense face Atlético-MG this Sunday (02) in the 10th round of the competition. For the match, Felipe Canavan returns to lead the team after Thiago Macedo was invited by Fred to be his assistant with the U-20 side.

Felipe Canavan served as assistant coach of the “Dream Generation” in 2020 and led the “Squadron 07” in 2024, when he was also the coach behind the club’s first-ever unbeaten Copa do Brasil title, remaining, so far, the only one in Xerém to achieve the feat.

“They were very important titles, won by two special generations for the club. Both taught us a lot, because the championship is extremely balanced and leaves very little margin for error. What I’ve talked about a lot with the players over the past few days is that every new challenge needs to prepare us for the decisive matches in the knockout stages. That was the case in 2020 and 2024. What we built in the first phase and throughout the entire training period left the team very well prepared. We were competitive, balanced and strong in key areas. So, for me, it will be decided that way again. You can’t avoid the critical moments. I hope the squad can have a good second half of the campaign to confirm this good run of form and arrive in good shape for the knockout stage,” said the 38-year-old coach.
