Mirassol Futebol Clube has been making waves in the Campeonato Brasileiro, and its coach, Rafael Guanaes, shared his experiences with football management games like Football Manager and Elifoot. During an appearance on the Charla Podcast, Guanaes revealed that these games were crucial in shaping his career as a coach. He recalled spending hours playing in his teenage years, developing tactical skills and getting to know players better. Guanaes joked that his best 'save' in Football Manager is his real life as a coach. Since taking over Mirassol in March this year, he has done an impressive job, leading the team to fourth place in the Brasileirão table with 56 points. If the championship ended today, Mirassol would qualify for the Libertadores group stage. Guanaes, who has had stints at various clubs, including Atlético-GO and Sampaio Corrêa, has proven to be a promising and innovative coach, using his gaming experiences to enhance his strategies on the field.
