Playing career

Born in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Gallo joined the youth categories of hometown side Botafogo-SP in 1980. He was promoted to the first team in 1986, and made his professional debut on 15 March of the following year, in a 2–1 Campeonato Paulista home win over Mogi Mirim.[1]

Gallo was loaned to Vitória in 1991, before signing for Santos in the following year. He made his club debut on 18 July, in a 3–0 home win over former club Botafogo.[2]

Gallo established himself as a regular starter for Peixe, being team captain during the 1995 Série A campaign.[2] In August 1996, he was loaned to Portuguesa, where he was also a first-choice.[3]

Sold to Guarani in January 1997, Gallo moved to São Paulo later in that year. On 11 February 1999, he agreed to a deal with Botafogo.[4] He moved to Atlético Mineiro shortly after,[5] before signing for Corinthians on 16 January 2001.[6]

Gallo retired at the end of the 2001 season, aged 34.

Coaching career

After retiring, Gallo joined Carlos Alberto Parreira's staff at his last club Corinthians in 2002, as his assistant. He also took over Villa Nova ahead of the 2003 season, and worked under the same role with Darío Pereyra at Grêmio, before returning to Villa Nova for the 2004 season.[7]

Gallo returned to assistant duties after the 2004 Campeonato Mineiro, joining Vanderlei Luxemburgo's staff at Santos. On 11 February 2005, he replaced Zé Teodoro at the helm of Portuguesa,[8] but left on 23 March to return to Santos, now as head coach.[9]

Gallo was sacked by Peixe on 27 September 2005,[10] and moved abroad for the first time in his career on 20 December, after taking over FC Tokyo in Japan.[11]

Back to his home country, Gallo was named Sport Recife head coach for the 2007 season, but left for Internacional on 26 April of that year.[12] He lifted the 2007 Recopa Sudamericana with the club, but was sacked on 10 August.[13]

On 3 June 2017, Gallo was named head coach of another club he represented as a player, Vitória.[37] Sacked on 21 July,[38] he returned to Atlético Mineiro on 11 December, now as a director of football.[39]

Gallo was fired from Atlético on 30 October 2018,[40] and spent a year without a club before returning to coaching duties on 25 January 2020, after being appointed São Caetano.[41] On 12 October, after winning the year's Campeonato Paulista Série A2, he announced his departure.[42]

Gallo was named head coach of his first club Botafogo-SP on 29 January 2021,[43] but left on 1 April.[44] He took over Santa Cruz twelve days later,[45] but resigned twelve days after taking over, after just three matches.[46]

On 19 September 2022, after more than a year without a club, Gallo agreed to become Cianorte's head coach for the ensuing season.[47] He left the following 14 March to take over Londrina,[48] but was sacked on 10 May.[49]

On 9 August 2023, Gallo replaced Paulo Roberto Falcão as the technical coordinator of Santos.[50] Despite being a part of the staff in the club's first-ever relegation, he remained at the club for the following season.[51]
