Two days after turning 78, the oldest professional coach enters Brazil, Aderbal Woolsigned a new contract this Friday with Princess of Solimoes. Lana returned for her fourth spell at the club, making the announcement on social media with a ‘Star Wars’ splash reading ‘The Return of Lana’ over a photoshopped image of the coach in a Jedi costume.
With more than half a century of experience under his belt, Lana has managed 25 clubs, mainly in the Brazilian fourth division, Serie D, and in the Amazonense Championship.
This year, Lana has changed clubs four times. “Age is in people’s heads. You can be 10, 20 or 30 years old, it all depends on what you want to do and how you want to live your life,” Lana declared to the Brazilian newspaper ‘Globo Ge’ in April, when he was named coach of Monte Roraima. “I am a very happy, healthy and calm guy, so my main motivation is not to grow old and die slowly,” he added.
Lana’s most notable success came in the Amazonense Championship, where she won the title nine times.
