Career

edit

Born in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Zanella joined Juventude's youth categories in 2010, remaining four years before becoming an assistant of the B-team and coach of the under-20 side.[1][2] In 2017, he was named in charge of Panambi, but left in March of that year to take over the under-14 team of Grêmio.[3][4]

Zanella returned to Ju on 20 February 2019, after being named under-20 coach.[5] He then worked as an assistant of the main squad before returning to the previous role for the 2022 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.[6]

On 3 October 2022, Zanella was named interim head coach of the main squad, after Umberto Louzer was sacked.[7] He was in charge of the club until the final rounds of the 2022 Série A, before returning to his previous role after Celso Roth was appointed manager.

On 2 December 2022, Zanella was fired by Ju.[8]
