Career
Born in Piracicaba, São Paulo, Ferreira began his career with hometown side XV de Piracicaba. After a quick spell at Guarani as a performance analyst, he joined São Paulo's youth sides in 1995.
In 2000, after spending three years with the youth teams, Ferreira was named assistant coach of Internacional; in 2002, he was named interim after the dismissal of Ivo Wortmann. He won that year's Campeonato Gaúcho and was permanently appointed as head coach on 4 June 2002,[1] but was still sacked on 26 August.[2]
On 15 May 2003, Ferreira was appointed head coach of Noroeste.[3] The following 17 August he moved abroad, joining Segunda Liga side Penafiel.
On 4 February 2004, Ferreira was dismissed.[4] He was appointed at the helm of Naval on 4 March,[5] but was relieved of his duties on 12 September.
In 2005 Ferreira returned to Brazil, being appointed at Corinthians Alagoano.[6] After a spell back at Inter as a youth coordinator[7] and at 15 de Novembro, he returned to Internacional in 2008, again as an assistant; he was also an interim in June 2008, after the departure of Abel Braga.[8]
In the following two years, Ferreira managed Mogi Mirim (two stints),[9] Criciúma[10] and ABC.[11] On 24 September 2012, he was appointed head coach of Ponte Preta.[12]
Ferreira was dismissed on 6 June 2013,[13] and on 28 July he was named Portuguesa head coach, with the side seriously threatened with relegation.[14] He managed to finish 12th with the club, but the side ultimately suffered relegation due to irregularly fielding in a player; in the following February, he resigned.[15]
On 24 July 2014, immediately after leaving Figueirense,[16] Ferreira returned to Ponte.[17] He was sacked on 3 August 2015,[18] and was appointed head coach of Chapecoense on 14 September.[19]
On 24 June 2016, Ferreira left Chape after agreeing to a deal with Bahia.[20] He left the club in the same manner the following 30 May, after returning to Inter, now in the first team.[21]
On 11 November 2017, after a 1–1 draw against Vila Nova and thus losing the leadership of 2017 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, Ferreira was relieved from his duties.[22] On 26 December, he returned to Bahia,[23] but was sacked the following 3 June.[24]
On 7 August 2018, Ferreira was appointed head coach of Chape for the second time,[25] but was dismissed on 15 October.[26] On 20 February of the following year, he took over Sport Recife,[27] helping in their promotion to the first division at the end of the season but being dismissed on 13 February 2020 after a poor start of the campaign.[28]
On 18 March 2020, Ferreira was named Ceará head coach in the place of Enderson Moreira.[29] He was sacked by the club on 29 August of the following year, after nearly 100 matches in charge.[30]
On 6 October 2021, Ferreira returned to Bahia for a third spell, replacing Diego Dabove.[31] He was kept in charge of the club despite their relegation, but was dismissed on 26 June 2022.[32]
On 16 August 2022, Ferreira returned to the top tier after being announced as head coach of Coritiba.[33] On 9 December, despite avoiding relegation, he was sacked,[34] and was announced in charge of fellow top tier side Goiás the following day.[35]
On 10 April 2023, after losing the 2023 Campeonato Goiano, Ferreira was sacked by Goiás,[36] and returned to Ceará on 29 June.[37] On 29 August, he was dismissed by the latter club.[38]
Ferreira returned to Coxa on 27 November 2023, with their relegation already confirmed.[39] He was sacked the following 3 May, after a poor start in the 2024 Série B,[40] and returned to Sport on 26 July 2024,[41] where he was also dismissed after just five matches.[42]
On 21 February 2025, Ferreira replaced sacked Bernardo Franco as head coach of Cuiabá.[43] He lost the Campeonato Matogrossense title to Primavera, and was himself dismissed on 10 August.[44]
On 22 September 2025, Ferreira was announced as head coach of Remo also in the second division.[45] He led the club to a promotion to the top tier after 32 years, but left in December after failing to agree new terms.[46]
On 22 March 2026, Ferreira was announced as head coach of Vila Nova, also in the second division.[47]
