João Plantier

My desire is always to work in soccer/football at the highest level. Developing, observing, and recruiting players are some of my greatest passions. Adding to my considerable coaching experience, I've always had a strong connection with youth development, which is truly the main goal of my career.

Helping players to get to the highest level possible is my priority. The experience of working with so many players of different nationalities in youth soccer has given me the tools to help young athletes achieve their goals.
