Salles led the team for 4 years, in the period which the club was known as São Paulo da Floresta, winning the Campeonato Paulista (State of São Paulo league) in 1931 and being runners-up in 1930, 1932 and 1933. He also participated in the campaign that led Tricolor to the second place in 1934. His career ended prematurely due to his death on July 21 of the same year.
  The club underwent rapid changes following Salles's death, facing internal disagreements and fast dissociations which culminated in the closure and rebuilding of football activities in December 1935. Since then, the team remained for eight years without a title, 12 altogether from 1931 that were interrupted by the group's of Portuguese coach Joreca. He coached the Tricolor between the years 1943 and 1947 when he won state championships of 1943 (without defeat under his command), 1945 (with only two setbacks) and 1946 (undefeated).
  In the subsequent years from the successful seasons of Joreca by São Paulo, the club won two titles in a row in 1948 and 1949 under command of the famous manager Vicente Feola who had coached the team on several occasions.
