Thiago Carpini is the new coach of São Paulo Football Club. The professional was one of the highlights of Brazilian football last season and arrives with a contract valid until December 31, 2024, following the departure of Dorival Júnior to the Brazilian National Team.
The coach, who was at Juventude, will travel from Caxias do Sul to the capital of São Paulo this Friday (12) and will continue with the team’s preseason, focusing on the Supercopa do Brasil and the Copa Libertadores, as well as the Paulista, Brasileirão, and the defense of the Copa do Brasil title.

“It’s a magical moment, I prepared a lot for this. Working at São Paulo is a dream come true, especially in such an important year, returning to the Libertadores. The club comes from a victorious season, with the unprecedented conquest of the Copa do Brasil, and has a very qualified squad. For me, it is a personal and professional achievement,” said Carpini.
Alongside the head coach, São Paulo welcomes assistant coach Estephano Djian and fitness coach Caio Gilli.
Under Carpini’s leadership at Água Santa and Juventude in 2023, he achieved notable campaigns before joining Tricolor: with the Diadema-based club, he was the state runner-up. Meanwhile, with the Rio Grande do Sul team, he lifted them from the relegation zone of the Brazilian Serie B to promotion to the top tier, securing second place overall.
