Antonio “Tony” Neto  was born and raised in Joao Pessoa, PB, Brazil. From an early age he found soccer as primary means of entertainment and aspiration. He moved to San Francisco, CA in 2001. Adapting to the new culture and lifestyle was made easier through the game of soccer. Through competitive and pick up games in Northern California he developed a relationship with Jasko Begovic who introduced him to coaching at youth and High School levels.

​

Tony is driven to build a coaching career on the foundation of passion, creativity, and unconditional love of soccer which he experienced growing up in Brazil. He believes the soccer ball is the ultimate toy in the world. As a youth coach Tony strives to instill character values of hard work, respect, dedication and excellence to every individual and team he coaches.
