Death
editAfter the final match of the 2023 season against Sông Lam Nghệ An at Vinh Stadium, due to not being able to find a direct flight back to Pleiku, the HAGL squad was forced to fly to Buôn Ma Thuột, Đắk Lắk. Paollo, alongside team doctor Đào Trọng Trí and assistant coach Dương Minh Ninh, went by car to Pleiku, but when passing through Chư Pưh district on National Highway 14, the car came into the path of two trucks and was forcefully sandwiched between them. All three occupants, including Paollo, were unable to escape and did not survive the accident.[4][5]
HAGL helped Paollo's family bring his body back to his final resting place in Portugal.[6][5] Paollo is survived by his wife, Tammy Araújo Chaves.
