Later Years and Coaching Career

Alfredo Ramos concluded his playing career at Corinthians, where he played for two years and appeared in 33 matches, scoring one goal. However, his playing time at Corinthians was cut short due to a leg injury he sustained in a match against his former club, Sao Paulo FC, on October 20, 1957. The game ended in a 1-1 draw. Ramos retired from professional football in 1959.

After retiring as a player, Alfredo Ramos pursued a career in coaching. He worked as a coach for Corinthians in 1962 and Sao Paulo FC in 1972. Under his guidance, Sao Paulo FC played 46 matches, winning 23, drawing 15, and losing only 4. However, two disappointments for Ramos as a coach were the defeat in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores against Argentinean club Independiente and the final match of the state championship against Palmeiras, which ended in a 0-0 draw. A victory in that match would have secured the championship for Sao Paulo FC.

During his career, Alfredo Ramos achieved several accolades, including being a champion of the Sao Paulo State Championship in 1953 and winning the Oswaldo Cruz Cup in 1955.
