Manaus FC coach João Victor completes CBF Academy License A

Manaus FC head coach João Victor has completed the CBF Academy License A, a significant milestone in professional football coaching. The training took place over 12 days at the Athletico Paranaense training center in Curitiba, following several months of online instruction.

During the practical phase of the course, which ran from September 23 to October 4, Victor participated in modules involving Athletico Paranaense coach Odair Hellmann. Victor noted the value of observing the professional team's methodology and learning from Hellmann's career experiences.

The License A certification qualifies coaches to lead professional teams in state and national competitions. Victor, who is set to continue leading Manaus FC through the 2027 season, intends to apply his new knowledge to the club's upcoming campaigns in the Campeonato Amazonense, Copa do Brasil, and Campeonato Brasileiro Série D. His next professional goal is to pursue the CBF Academy License PRO.
