Michel Ribeiro Technical Coach Sporting Kansas City SPORTING KC’S RIBEIRO ON AMERICAN YOUTH SOCCER – WHAT’S RIGHT & WHAT’S WRONG Diane Scavuzzo January 2, 2018 Sporting KC’s Academy Technical Coach Michel Ribeiro on Youth Soccer While the diverse landscape of player development may be littered with an abundance of trails in search of the holy grail of success, for a player to have real success, there must be an experienced leader involved. The zenith of player development is the experienced technical coach, especially one with a proven track record. The MLS Development Academy at Sporting Kansas City is highly respected and added Michel Ribeiro as Technical Coach in 2017. From Belgium, Ribeiro is a passionate and knowledgeable soccer expert who has already developed top talent into highly successful professionals — and now wants to turn his attention and talents to helping players in the USA. What do Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, Atlético Madrid’s Yannick Carrasco and Liverpool’s Divock Origi have in common? They all trained under Technical Coach Michel Ribeiro. Regardless of a player’s natural ability and passionate work ethic, the most important part of the journey for a talented young soccer player in search of reaching their potential and dreaming of becoming a professional — is the technical coach.
