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]
