The next challenge for Pedro came in the form of being a football coach at Club Athletico Paranaense. He was able to have coached the U-15 to U-23 side from 2009 to 2013. For the U-20 and U-23 youth squads the Brazilian worked as the assistant trainer and used the time to observe and learn. Working with various age groups gave Pedro more experience and understanding of how to train, motivate and push athletes of various age groups. Here he was responsible for player management, athlete analysis and recruitment, planning training schedules and routines.

He became the head coach of Esporte Clube Comercial. Here Pedro was able to take the lead role of his club and be in full control of the management of players and the recruitment of athletes. 

Serving only a short time at the club, in the same year (2016) he made another move which lead him to Coritiba Football Club.
