Playing career

edit

Born in Santos, São Paulo, Fernandes was a youth graduate of hometown side Santos FC, and was a part of the squad which won the 1978 Campeonato Paulista. He subsequently served loan stints at Botafogo-SP, Paysandu and Santo André,[3] and won the 1983 Toulon Tournament with the Brazil under-23 national team before returning to Peixe in 1984.[4]

After a short stint at Taquaritinga and another year back at Santo André, Fernandes signed for Ferroviária for the 1986 season,[5] but finished the year at Rio Branco-ES. In 1988, he joined XV de Piracicaba,[6] and retired from professional football after a period at Sãocarlense in the 1990s.

Coaching career

edit

After starting it out at Marcílio Dias in 1998, Fernandes was named head coach of Sãocarlense in April 2001,[7] before taking over the youth sides of his first club Santos later in the year.[8] In 2002, after Santos established a partnership with Jabaquara, he was named head coach of the club,[9] and won the Campeonato Paulista Série B3 with the club.[10]

After returning to the youth sides of Peixe, Fernandes was named at the helm of Bragantino in January 2004. After leaving in April, he subsequently returned to Santos, being named interim head coach of the main squad on 7 May.[11]

Fernandes led Santos in one match, a 2–1 win over Juventude, before coaching a B-team to the Copa FPF title later in the year.[12] On 28 May 2008, he was again named interim after Emerson Leão was sacked,[13] and was in charge in a 0–0 draw against São Paulo before becoming an assistant of Cuca.[14]

On 7 August 2008, Fernandes was named permanent head coach of Peixe, after Cuca resigned.[15] Despite narrowly avoiding relegation, he was dismissed on 13 February of the following year, after a poor start of the new season.[16]

On 20 August 2009, Fernandes was appointed Fortaleza head coach,[17] but left the club nearly one month later, after just four points in seven matches.[18] He took over Red Bull Brasil in December, winning the 2010 Campeonato Paulista Série A3 but being sacked in January 2011 after three consecutive defeats.

On 23 February 2011, Fernandes was named Comercial-SP head coach, and led the club to a promotion in the 2011 Paulista Série A2. On 27 February 2012, after a poor start in the 2012 Campeonato Paulista, he was relieved from his duties.[19]

On 3 September 2012, Fernandes took over Série C side Brasiliense.[20] He avoided relegation with the club, but left on 10 June 2013; with 276 days in charge, he became the longest serving coach of the club's history at the time.[21]

On 14 November 2013, Guarani confirmed the signing of Fernandes as head coach for the upcoming campaign.[22] After failing to achieve promotion in the 2014 Paulista Série A2 and being knocked out of the 2014 Copa do Brasil, he resigned on 11 April of that year.[23]

On 25 February 2015, after nearly one year unemployed, Fernandes was named Vila Nova head coach.[24] He left the club exactly one year later, after winning the 2015 Campeonato Goiano Segunda Divisão and the 2015 Série C,[25] and was presented at Botafogo-SP four days later.[26]

Sacked by Botafogo on 11 October 2016,[27] Fernandes was announced at Linense the following 20 February 2017.[28] On 26 April, he returned to XV de Piracicaba, now as head coach,[29] but left for ABC on 19 July;[30] at the latter club, he was dismissed after only 30 days in charge.[31]

Fernandes returned to Linense on 6 February 2018,[32] but left the club in March after suffering relegation in the 2018 Campeonato Paulista. On 15 May, he was named head coach of Joinville,[33] but was sacked on 16 July.[34]

On 2 October 2018, Fernandes agreed to become Aparecidense's head coach for the 2019 season,[35] but asked to leave the club the following 31 January, after only four matches.[36] On 25 February 2019, he was announced at Remo,[37] but was dismissed on 26 August, after the club's elimination from the 2019 Série C.[38]

On 17 February 2020, Fernandes returned to Brasiliense,[39] but was sacked on 31 August.[40] He was named Treze head coach on 22 September,[41] but despite failing to avoid their relegation in the third level, he took over fellow league team Vila Nova and led the club to promotion as champions.

Sacked by Vila on 5 March 2021,[42] Fernandes was appointed Santo André head coach on 28 April.[43] He left after avoiding relegation from the 2021 Paulistão, and was named at the helm of Londrina on 14 July;[44] he left the latter at the end of the year.[45]

On 3 December 2021, Fernandes was announced at Paysandu,[46] and remained more than a year in charge of the club before being dismissed on 29 April 2023.[47] On 7 May 2023, he took over Série B side Sampaio Corrêa,[48] but was sacked on 5 September.[49]

On 6 February 2024, Fernandes was announced back at Santo André.[50] After suffering relegation in the 2024 Campeonato Paulista, he returned to Vila for a third spell on 18 March,[51] but was dismissed on 22 May, after a 6–0 loss to former side Paysandu in the first leg of the 2024 Copa Verde finals.[52]

On 9 September 2024, Fernandes returned to Paysandu for his second spell.[53]
