Fabiana is an experienced football coach and sports scientist with a diverse career spanning various countries, including Spain, Vietnam, the United States, Kuwait, and Denmark. I began as a player in international leagues, including the NCAA and the International APAC Conference. Transitioning to coaching, I spent over five years at RCD Espanyol as Head Coach and Sports Scientist in the youth department, focusing on player development for both men’s and women’s teams.
My coaching journey continued in Kuwait, where I led initiatives in men’s football, further enhancing my leadership skills. In Denmark, I worked with Akademisk Boldklub Gadsaxe in the professional leagues, contributing to the team’s success. Notably, in 2024, I made history as the first female head coach in Danish men's professional football leagues, serving as interim head coach for AB.
Passionate about player development, I thrive on the challenges of the sports industry and remain dedicated to making a positive impact in football.
