Playing career

edit

Born in São Paulo, Soares began his career with hometown side Juventus, making his first team debut in 1985 and being sold to Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia in 1993.[1] In 1996, after a short period at Guarani, he joined Palmeiras.

A backup option at Verdão, Soares was loaned to Japanese club Kyoto Purple Sanga for the remainder of the 1996 season. After featuring more sparingly in 1997, he still left the club and moved to Goiás, where he featured very rarely before returning to his first club Juventus.

Soares subsequently played for Inter de Limeira, Juventus (two stints), Etti Jundiai,[2] São José-SP, Gama, Santo André (three stints)[3] and Náutico. He retired in 2004 with Santo André, aged 37.

On 26 January 2007, Soares replaced Marcelo Vilar at the helm of Grêmio Barueri,[8] but was sacked on 8 April.[9] He returned to Santo André on 17 May,[10] but was dismissed on 1 November with the club struggling with relegation in the Série B.[11]

On 21 January 2008, Soares returned to Juventus.[12] He resigned on 29 February,[13] and subsequently rejoined Santo André for a fourth period as manager on 16 May.[14] He led the latter side to a top tier promotion before opting to join Ponte Preta on 4 December.[15]

Soares returned to Barueri on 11 May 2011,[25] but was sacked on 1 August.[26] On 6 January, he had his first managerial experience abroad after being named in charge of Japanese club Cerezo Osaka,[27] but was relieved of his duties on 27 August and subsequently replaced by compatriot Levir Culpi.[28]

On 6 December 2012, Soares replaced Argel Fuchs at the helm of Avaí.[29] Sacked the following 10 March,[30] he was named in charge of Ceará on 18 August 2013, in the place of Sérgio Guedes.[31]

On 3 April 2017, Soares agreed to become the manager of another club he represented as a player, Goiás,[39] but was sacked on 27 May after four winless matches.[40] He returned to Santo André for the 2018 Campeonato Paulista on 11 October 2017,[41] and left after the competition ended.

On 29 June 2018, Soares took over Londrina[42] also in the second level, but was dismissed on 4 August.[43] On 11 February 2019, he returned to São Bernardo,[44] and later moved to ABC on 15 May.[45]

Sacked by ABC on 9 June 2019,[46] and was appointed in charge of Ferroviária the following 17 January.[47] He was dismissed by the latter on 27 March 2020,[48] and returned to Juventus on 4 January 2021.[49]

Soares was dismissed by Juventus on 4 May 2021,[50] and was named manager of neighbouring Portuguesa for the 2022 campaign on 11 November.[51] He won the 2022 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 with the club, before departing on 4 October of that year.[52]
