Watch out, Crespo: Allan Barcellos signs new São Paulo deal | OneFootball

The sensation coach of São Paulo's under-20 team, Allan Barcellos, 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 coach, still 33 years old, won the Brazilian Under-20 Cup twice (2024 and 2025) and the Copinha (2025). Today, he competes for another spot in the final of the country's main youth tournament, in a match against Ibrachina at Morumbi, in search of the double title.

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

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