Aarão Alves dos Santos (born 26 August 1974), known as Aarão Alves, is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a left back, and is a current manager.
Born in Santos, São Paulo, Alves made his senior debut with Portuguesa Santista, but played professionally for a short period. He began his managerial career with Jabaquara's under-20 team in 2005. In 2007, he was in charge of the main squad for a brief period before being named manager of Paulista's under-20s.
Alves took over Paulista's main squad for the 2009 Copa Paulista, taking the club to the finals[1] but eventually losing it to Fernando Diniz's Votoraty. On 19 February 2010, after only two wins in nine matches during the 2010 Campeonato Paulista, he was dismissed.[2]
On 9 August 2013, after working for Jabaquara again, Alves joined Santos as an under-17 manager.[3] On 20 January 2017, he was appointed at the helm of the under-20s.[4]
Alves was dismissed by Peixe on 6 April 2018, after a poor performance in the year's Copa do Brasil Sub-20.[5] He subsequently worked for Shandong Luneng before returning to his previous role in October 2020.[6]
Alves' father Manoel Maria was a footballer.[7] A winger, he notably represented Santos during the later part of the Os Santásticos (1968–1973).
