He was champion again in 2005, at the state level with ABC, and in the Taça Minas Gerais in a new stint at América Mineiro. From 2012 to 2016 he was football coordinator at América,[3] indirectly participating in the conquest of the 2016 Campeonato Mineiro (led by Givanildo Oliveira),[4] He would still come to coach Goytacaz, Nacional de Muriaé and União Luziense.[5]
