Career
Born in Campinas, São Paulo, Brigatti was a Ponte Preta youth graduate.[1] However, he never established himself as a regular starter at the club, and had subsequent spells at Bandeirante, America-SP, Rio Branco-SP, Desportiva, Remo,[2] Santa Cruz and Caldense. He retired in 1996, aged 32, with Santa.
Shortly after retiring, Brigatti started working as a goalkeeping coach at his first team Ponte Preta. In 2011, he joined Theodore Whitmore's staff at the Jamaica national team, again as a goalkeeping coach.[3] After working in the same role at Chunnam Dragons FC, he was appointed Mazola Júnior's assistant at Paysandu for the 2014 season.[4]
After following Mazola at Bragantino, Botafogo-SP and CRB, Brigatti returned to Ponte on 7 December 2016, as an assistant coach.[5] He also acted as interim head coach on three occasions for the Macaca before leaving in 2018.
On 3 September 2018, Brigatti returned to Paysandu, now being named head coach of the first team.[6] He was sacked the following 18 March,[7] and was appointed in charge of Sampaio Corrêa on 27 June.[8]
Brigatti returned to Ponte on 20 February 2020, replacing sacked Gilson Kleina.[9] Sacked on 2 October,[10] he rejoined Paysandu for a third spell late in the month.[11]
After narrowly missing out promotion in the 2020 Série C, Brigatti left Papão on 18 January 2021,[12] and was named in charge of another club he represented as a player, Santa Cruz, on 19 February.[13] Dismissed on 11 April,[14] he took over fellow third division side Oeste on 26 July,[15] but resigned on 10 July, after just four matches.[16]
Brigatti returned to Sampaio on 30 October 2021,[17] and managed to avoid relegation with the club in the 2021 Série B. Sacked on 20 March of the following year,[18] he was named América de Natal head coach on 1 May 2022,[19] but left on 28 June to take over Manaus FC.[20]
Brigatti resigned from Manaus on 19 July 2022, after having discrepancies with the club's board.[21] On 25 July 2023, after more than a year unemployed, he returned to Ponte as a technical coordinator.[22]
On 2 October 2023, Brigatti was named head coach of Ponte again, after Pintado was sacked.[23] The following 29 February, he renewed his contract with the club,[24] but resigned on 27 May.[25]
On 6 November 2024, Brigatti returned to Ponte for the final three matches of the season.[26] Unable to avoid relegation, he returned to a coordinator role on 22 November.[27]
