Fabricio Monte with 17-year-old Rodrygo (left), who he coached in futsal from 2010-2015. Likened to Neymar by many due to his explosive acceleration and dribbling ability, Rodrygo made an instant impact for Santos FC's professional team in his debut 2019 season. His goals and performances for Santos propelled them to the late stages of the Copa Libertadores. Transfer speculation initially linked Rodrygo to Barcelona. However, Real Madrid won the race to his signature in mid-2018 in a 52 million euros deal. Rodrygo was recently named the fourth best U21 player in the world.

Stacked with a number of Santos FC players who have since gone on to become professional footballers (including Brazil U17 internationals Rodrygo, Lucas Lourenco, Victor Yan and Kaio Jorge), the group won both the Brazilian and South American U14 futsal titles. Fabricio worked with this group, many of whom have been at Santos FC since they were little kids, from 2010-2015. They are considered a golden generation by the Santos FC football hierarchy. Rodrygo, Lucas, and Victor have all since made their debuts for the Santos FC 1st team.
