Soccer with Juan Castano

Passionate and experienced football professional with a lifelong dedication to the sport, both as a player and as a youth coach. Began playing at age six with Boca Juniors in Argentina, progressing through renowned youth systems including Alianza, Atlético Nacional, and AC Milan in Italy, where I trained and competed until age 16. This international foundation instilled deep technical knowledge, tactical discipline, and a strong understanding of high-performance environments from an early age. Transitioned into coaching with a focus on youth development, gaining hands-on experience with players from ages 2 to 15. Served as an Assistant Coach for Atlético Nacional’s U13–U15 academy teams, contributing to the training of elite youth talent under professional standards. Continued my development abroad as an Assistant Coach at AC Milan’s Youth Academy, where I supported the implementation of structured training programs and match-day preparation in one of Europe’s most competitive settings. Additionally, coached younger age groups (2–11) in grassroots and recreational programs, fostering early development, teamwork, and love for the game. Key Strengths: • Deep international playing background in top-tier youth academies. • Coaching experience with early childhood through competitive adolescence (ages 2–18). • Strong foundation in tactical planning, player development, and match preparation. • Bilingual and adaptable, with experience working in both South American and European football cultures.
