Rosana departs role as Brasil Women’s Under 20 coach



Rosana Augusto announced,her departure from her role as head of the U-20 Women’s Team.

Rosana took the role in 2023 leading Brasil Women’s under 20 team to the Quarter Finals of the 2024 Fifa Women’s Under 20 Tournament after leading the team to a 10th Sudamerica title.



She posted on her social media, writing that the departure was “early, perhaps unexpected, but full of meaning”.

rosanafut_oficial A Cycle of Learning, Dedication and Gratitude

Today, my cycle leading the U-20 Women’s Team comes to an end.

Early, perhaps unexpected, but full of meaning. These were intense days of deep learning, growth, challenges overcome and, above all, total dedication. Every moment lived, every look exchanged, every word spoken built this journey with a greater purpose: to develop, transform and inspire.

I am immensely grateful. To each athlete who gave their best, who trusted the process, who dedicated themselves body and soul. To each member of the coaching staff, who worked tirelessly, who put love into every detail and made this journey a space for evolution. To all the people who, in some way, were by our side, contributing to making this dream possible. None of this would have been possible without you.

There were many challenges, but also many achievements. Not only on the field, but in essence. We were able to rescue and value each player and show that football is much more than just victories and defeats. It is about people, about stories, about the strength of those who believe.
