After Leaving FC Porto, Thiago Silva Pursues Coaching Course in Scotland

Just days after his departure from FC Porto was confirmed following half a season, veteran Brazilian center-back Thiago Silva, 41, took to social media to reveal he is pursuing a coaching career, specifically the UEFA A License, in Scotland.

“Halfway through my UEFA A License journey in Scotland. Always learning. Always evolving. Football never stops teaching!” wrote the defender, who won the national championship with the Dragons upon his return to the Invicta city.

Thiago Silva, who had aspirations of playing in the 2026 World Cup for the Brazilian national team but was ultimately not called up by Carlo Ancelotti, featured in 14 official matches for the blue and whites in the recently concluded season.
