My Take

João Paulo Mior represents a transition that always moves me, the moment a player becomes a teacher. A central midfielder from Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, he sustained a long career at 171 cm, which tells me he survived on intelligence, reading of the game, and crisp distribution rather than physical dominance. Since 2026 he has been an assistant coach with Tacoma Defiance in MLS Next Pro, handing the tactical instincts he earned in the engine room to the next generation. I have always believed whoever controls midfield controls the match, and I quietly root for him to pass that philosophy on.

Overview

João Paulo Mior (born 8 March 1991), known as João Paulo, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a central midfielder. Since 2026, he has been an assistant coach with Tacoma Defiance of MLS Next Pro in the United States.
