In 2022, he was promoted to head coach of the U19 women’s team.
Under his leadership, the young Parisian players have excelled this season, winning the French U19 Championship – a title that had eluded the Club since 2019. Paulo César has played a key role in the development of several young talents who will now continue their journey under his leadership in the senior squad.
In May 2025, Paulo César took interim charge of the first team. At the helm of the senior squad, he guided Paris to the final of the Arkema Première Ligue Play-Offs after a 3–0 victory at the Parc des Princes against Paris FC.
