Early Life and Education
Paulo Autuori loved football from a young age. He played futsal, which is like indoor soccer. Sadly, he got a sickness called poliomyelitis when he was a teenager. This disease made one of his legs weak and caused him to limp. Because of this, he could not become a professional football player.
Even though he couldn't play, Paulo still wanted to be part of the football world. He decided to learn about other parts of the game. He chose to become a manager, which is like a head coach for a team.
Paulo studied Physical Education at Universidade Castelo Branco. He also took courses in Sport Administration and Soccer Coaching. This helped him prepare for his career in football.
