He has already faced Verdão as a coach

As a coach, the former player has already faced Verdão in the 2024 Campeonato Paulista while managing Ituano. On that occasion, he spoke with NOSSO PALESTRA and reminisced about his time at the club.

– I had a good spell at Palmeiras, where I managed to be the top scorer of the Libertadores, one of the team's top scorers in the 2005 Brasileirão. I had a very good time alongside Juninho; we were roommates. He was always very attentive and gave a lot of support. – he said

– With the friendship we had, opportunities came up soon after we retired, coming to Ituano in the U-15, leaving, and now returning as head coach. We have the same mindset about looking forward in football, empowering young players, so that makes many things in our daily routine good. I hope the partnership lasts a long time. – he concluded
