Portuguesa announce new assistant coach with Corinthians experience | OneFootball

On Monday, Portuguesa officially announced the hiring of assistant coach Raphael Laruccia, former youth coach at Corinthians, to join the red-green coaching staff.

At 40 years old, Laruccia has built his career mainly in player development. He spent three years at Corinthians, working with the Under-17 and Under-20 teams as well as the professional squad, in addition to a stint with Avaí’s youth teams, always focusing on athlete development and the organization of game processes.

Motivated by the new challenge, Raphael Laruccia highlighted the project and the weight of the club’s jersey as decisive factors for his arrival at Canindé.

“Portuguesa SAF really attracted me because of the project, the seriousness, and the ambition that is being built. This is an important moment in my career and wearing such a historic jersey in Brazilian football is a huge responsibility, but also a great motivation. I am very happy with the opportunity and ready to contribute,” he said.

The assistant coach has already started working with the staff led by Fábio Matias, taking part in activities at the CT of Parque Ecológico do Tietê.
