List of CR Vasco da Gama managers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama is a Brazilian sports club founded in 1898 and best known for its professional football team, which began competing in 1915. Until April 1922, the team was managed by makeshift committees made up of directors, players, and associates. This chronological list includes all managers who have held the position since Ramón Platero in 1922, the team's first official manager. Each entry provides the manager’s history with the club and the titles won. Interim managers are also included, when known, as well as those appointed on a permanent basis.

There are no statistics for the period 1915–22, therefore only the head coaches from 1922 are listed below.^[1]^[2]

In the case of periods with interim coaches, they are not numbered as they were not official coaches.
