Coach Leo:

I was born in 1984 in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Like most of the young boys in Brazil, my first football skills developed while playing in the streets of my hometown. Soccer has always been my passion. When I was 15 I got the opportunity to train at a famous club that works with young talents. I had my first experience in professional football while playing for Atletico de Poções in 2002 and for EC Democrata in Minas Gerais in 2003.

A few years later I moved to Switzerland and was playing with FC Schaffhausen and FC Zurich U21. Afterwards, I started to train the Juniors of FC Hakoah, FC Seefeld and World United Football Academy (WUFA) of all age groups (U5 to U16) in Zurich, after obtaining the necessary coach diplomas by the Swiss Football Association. I realised that my real passion was coaching young people and being a role model for them.
