Alessandro Stefano Cugurra Rodrigues (born 25 July 1974), also known as Teco, is a Brazilian-born Indonesian professional football coach. [1] He is currently the head coach of Championship club Barito Putera.
Teco started his career in Indonesia as a physical coach at Persebaya Surabaya in 2004. He rose to prominence coaching Persija Jakarta in late 2017. In 2018, he led Persija to their first Indonesian league title since 2001. Afterwards, he moved to Bali United, where he won his second consecutive league title. Under Teco's guidance, Bali United became the first Balinese club to win an Indonesian league title.
On 14 January 2019, Bali United appointed Teco as their new manager, replacing Widodo Cahyono Putro. On the same day eight new players were announced: Gunawan Dwi Cahyo, Michael Orah, Samuel Reimas, Ahmad Maulana Putra, Gusti Sandria, Haudi Abdillah, Leonard Tupamahu, and Brazilian player Willian Pacheco. [2] Teco's first competitive match in charge was a 3–0 win against Blitar United in the second-round of the 2018-19 Piala Indonesia. [3] In February, Teco signed Portuguese midfielder Paulo Sérgio to fill up the foreign player quota. [4] On 16 May 2019, Teco's first league game, against Persebaya, ended in a 2–1 win, with goals from Spasojević and new signing Paulo Sérgio, who scored on his debut. [5]
On 2 June 2025, Barito Putera appointed Teco as their head coach, making the Banjarmasin-based club the first team he's coached since becoming an Indonesian citizen. [6] [7]
