Thiago Carpini at Remo: a look at his latest managerial debuts | OneFootball

Thiago Carpini begins a new chapter in his career at Remo. Announced by the club for the remainder of the Brazilian Championship, the 42-year-old coach arrives in Belém after managing Fortaleza in the 2026 season.

Before taking over at Remo, Thiago Carpini coached Água Santa, Juventude, São Paulo, Vitória, and Fortaleza. At each of those five teams, he had a different kind of first match.

His record stands at three wins, one draw, and one loss. Those debuts also show Carpini’s progression, as he left São Paulo state football to lead better-funded teams and compete in national tournaments.

Água Santa: win over Portuguesa

The first of his five debuts came with Água Santa on July 3, 2022. The Diadema side faced Portuguesa at Canindé Stadium in the opening round of the Copa Paulista and won 1-0.

The goal was scored by Gleyson in the 32nd minute of the first half. The match marked the beginning of Carpini’s work at the club that would, months later, go on to have a historic campaign in the 2023 Campeonato Paulista.

Thiago Carpini, for example, led Água Santa to the runner-up finish in the 2023 Paulista Championship, a result that contributed to his hiring by Juventude and also boosted his profile in the national transfer market.

Juventude: away win

The second debut came on May 21, 2023. Hired by Juventude for the Série B campaign, Carpini began his work against Chapecoense at Arena Condá. The result was positive once again.

Juventude won 2-0, with a performance that allowed the coach to begin his spell with three away points. The victory also ended a recent run of winless debuts for the club’s managers.

His time at Juventude would prove decisive in establishing Carpini on the national stage. The coach led the team to a runner-up finish in Série B and promotion to the top flight, leaving the club to take over at São Paulo.

São Paulo: win at Morumbi

In January 2024, Thiago Carpini got the opportunity to manage one of the biggest clubs in Brazilian football. Hired by São Paulo to replace Dorival Júnior, the coach made his debut on January 20 against Santo André in the Campeonato Paulista.

At Morumbi, São Paulo won 3-1, with goals from Lucas Moura, Luciano, and Diego Costa. Cléo Silva pulled one back for Santo André. More than 45,000 fans attended Carpini’s first match in charge of the Tricolor.

His spell began with important results and ended with the Supercopa do Brasil title, but Thiago Carpini left the club during the season. That was because he had piled up poor results at the start of the Brazilian Championship.

Vitória: loss against Botafogo

His time at Vitória began on May 22, 2024, once again during a coaching change. Thiago Carpini replaced Léo Condé, and his first match was the second leg of the third round of the Copa do Brasil against Botafogo.

At Barradão Stadium, Vitória lost 2-1 and were eliminated from the competition. Luiz Henrique and Júnior Santos scored for the club known as the Lone Star, while Daniel Júnior pulled one back for the home side.

Despite the negative result, Thiago Carpini’s work at the Bahia club ended with Vitória staying in Série A of the Brazilian Championship and qualifying for the 2025 Copa Sudamericana.

Fortaleza: goalless draw

The most recent debut before his arrival at Remo came at Fortaleza. Hired for the 2026 season, Thiago Carpini took charge of his first match on January 11 against Ferroviário in the Campeonato Cearense.

The derby ended in a 0-0 draw at Presidente Vargas Stadium. Fortaleza had a man advantage for much of the match but failed to turn their numerical superiority into a goal. The season brought important results for the club.

Fortaleza won the Campeonato Cearense unbeaten, finished as runners-up in the Copa do Nordeste, and reached the round of 16 in the Copa do Brasil. Thiago Carpini left in July, with the team still in the Série B top six.

The record represents a 66.7% success rate across those five opening matches with his clubs. Now at Remo, Thiago Carpini will have a new debut to add to his journey. His first match is scheduled against Santos in the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship.
