I was trained by great coaches, like Didier Deschamps, Eric Gerets, Christophe Galtier, Mircea Lucescu, as well as other coaches. I have always observed the techniques of my coaches. I thank these special people, who crossed my path, for much of the knowledge acquired during my career.

B : I already had these businesses from my football days. My projects are very well managed by a very competent team who have been supporting me for years. I have always managed my colleagues with the same mindset I have when I am on the football field, which leads to the success of my companies. I still have confidence and determination.
FM: What coaching experiences have you had so far?
B : I was coach of the Londrina Esporte Clube U-17 team in Brazil and led the team to the title final. The team had never appeared in a championship final. It was an indescribable experience. I want to bring everything I learned as a player and coach to Olympique de Marseille. I was the interim coach of the professional team Londrina Esporte Clube in Brazil. I also had a lot of experience with other Brazilian coaches.
FM: What style of coach are you?
B : my style encourages the player, even in difficult times. I like having the players by my side. I work on the balance and resilience of my team. I try to encourage them through the activation technique. Not just with motivation. I’m a type of coach who likes the attacking style of play. It is important to have possession of the ball, to put pressure on the opponent at all times on the football field. I would like to continue to follow OM’s motto: “Right to Goal”.
FM: What are your goals for your coaching career?
B : my mission is to give back to OM what it didn’t have 10 years ago. Also give back to the supporters the pride of the team, the joy, the emotion of winning a title. When I was a player at Olympique de Marseille, I didn’t just care about scoring goals, but about scoring the decisive goals in every football match. My goal as a coach will be to win titles for Olympique de Marseille, as I did when I was a player.

I have always been very well received by everyone. In addition, I will be with my family, which is my strength, my base. So, I’m more than ready!

You will still have reasons to smile and be proud of Olympique de Marseille, like in the past, when I scored goals and pushed the team to victory. I never gave up on victories as a player.

I want to pass on this champion mentality to my team.
FM: if in the future OM is looking for a new coach, what would you say to the Marseille management so that they choose you?

B : I, Brandão, champion with Olympique de Marseille, was responsible for decisive goals to win several titles for my team. Trust me again. I will bring joy and confidence back to the team. It will be hard work, but I know I have the potential. Have you ever thought that maybe someone was missing to lead the team with the experience and mentality of a champion? I’m the person your team is missing! You can trust me, because I am sure that Olympique de Marseille will win more titles with me at the head of the team! All united by a single goal: victory!
