A UEFA Pro Licence holder with 14+ years of elite coaching experience across club football, national academies, and youth development programs. I combine tactical intelligence with modern data analytics to build high-performing teams.
From grassroots to senior professional football — I've led squads through relegation battles, title runs, and international tournaments. My coaching identity is built on relentless pressing, structured positional play, and developing players beyond the pitch.
Football is not about 11 individuals — it's about one organism that breathes together, presses together, and believes together.
Led the senior squad to the UAE Pro League playoffs in the debut season, implementing a high-intensity 4-3-3 pressing system that reduced goals conceded by 34%.
Managed the U21 development pathway at Porto's world-renowned academy, overseeing transition from youth football to senior professional environments.
Assisted the head coach in tactical preparation, video analysis, set-piece design, and match day operations for the Primeira Liga squad.
Supported the national youth setup in talent ID, training delivery, and international tournament preparation across European qualifiers.
Every session is designed with purpose. High intensity, high repetition, high retention. Players leave training better than they arrived — physically and mentally.
Tactics win matches. I develop footballers who can read the game, make decisions under pressure, and exploit space before others see it.
GPS metrics, Wyscout analysis, heat maps, and pressing intensity data feed into every training design and match preparation cycle.
A player's psychological resilience, nutrition habits, and off-pitch mindset are as important as their technical and physical attributes.
Open to new coaching opportunities, consultancy roles, and academy partnerships. Let's build something great together.
