Palmeiras move to hire São Paulo coach Allan Barcellos for U20s | OneFootball

After Lucas Andrade’s departure to take on the role of assistant coach for the Brazilian National Team, Palmeiras has been surveying the market and talking to candidates to take over as head coach of the club’s Under-20 team.

Palmeiras works to make a decision

NOSSO PALESTRA had reported last Monday (23) that Allan Barcellos, winner of the 2025 Copinha with São Paulo, was one of the names on the radar and that Verdão had already made initial contact for him to take charge of the Under-20 squad.

The coach is negotiating an exit from the Tricolor due to some dissatisfaction with the club’s board. As a result, Palmeiras has made progress in the talks and is optimistic about completing the signing in the coming days.

Lucas Andrade’s departure

Lucas Andrade had been in charge of Verdão since the start of 2024, when Paulo Victor left the club to work in Mexican football. Since then, two Brazilian titles have been won.

After finishing third in the Conmebol Under-20 Libertadores, Palmeiras returns to the Brazilian Under-20 Championship, sitting in third place after three rounds.
