Allan Rodrigo Aal (born 17 March 1979), known as Allan Aal, is a Brazilian football manager and former player who played as a centre-back. He is the current head coach of Guarani.
Born in Paranaguá, Paraná, Aal was known as just Allan as a player, and joined Coritiba's youth setup at the age of ten. He made his first team debut in 2000, aged 19, before moving to Botafogo in August 2002.[1]
After representing Daejeon Citizen in South Korea, Allan returned to Coritiba in September 2004.[2] He moved abroad again in 2006, with Italian side Triestina, but returned to Brazil in September of that year after signing for Londrina.[3]
Allan moved to hometown side Rio Branco-PR for the 2007 Campeonato Paranaense. After being a regular starter, he moved to PAOK in June 2007, but terminated his contract six months later due to the club's financial problems, and returned to former side Rio Branco.[1]
In 2009, after playing for Sinop, Allan retired at the age of just 30.[1]
After retiring, Aal started working at former side Rio Branco, before being named manager of Coritiba's under-17 team on 22 May 2012.[4] On 1 October 2015, he returned to Rio Branco, but now named first-team manager.[5]
On 15 February 2016, after four defeats in the first four matches of the campaign, Aal was sacked.[6] He took over Foz do Iguaçu for the 2017 season,[7] and left the club on 15 February 2018 to manage Portuguesa.[8]
Dismissed by Lusa on 6 November 2018,[9] Aal managed Nacional-SP for a short period[10] [11] before being appointed at the helm of Cascavel, a club he was already linked in the pre-season but left to take over Nacional.[12]
Still in 2019, after leaving Cascavel, Aal moved to Paraná as an assistant manager, but was named manager ahead of the 2020 season.[13] He was relieved of his duties on 1 November 2020,[14] and took over fellow Série B side Cuiabá fifteen days later.[15]
Despite leading Cuiabá to a first-ever promotion, Aal left the club on a mutual agreement on 1 February 2021.[16] He took over Guarani in the second division three days later,[17] but was sacked 18 May.[18]
Aal was announced as CRB manager on 24 May 2021.[19] He was dismissed the following 10 February, after a poor start of the new campaign,[20] and took over fellow second division side Novorizontino two days later.[21]
On 19 June 2022, after suffering relegation in the 2022 Campeonato Paulista and a six-match winless run, Aal was sacked by Novorizontino.[22] On 2 July, he replaced Dado Cavalcanti at the helm of fellow second division side Vila Nova.[23]
On 23 November 2022, despite saving Vila Nova from relegation, Aal was sacked by the club.[24] The following 18 May, he was named in charge of ABC also in the second division.[25]
On 2 September 2023, Aal left ABC, with the club in the last position of the 2023 Série B.[26] He was appointed in charge of Náutico for the 2024 season on 15 November,[27] but was dismissed on 30 March 2024, despite reaching the finals of the Campeonato Pernambucano.[28]
On 29 July 2024, Aal was announced back at Guarani in the second division.[29]
Aal comes from a family of footballers. His grandfather, his father Vivi and his brother Netinho were also footballers and defenders.[30]
