Márcio Zanardi Gomes da Silva (born 11 July 1978) is a Brazilian professional football coach.
Born in São Paulo, Zanardi began his career with Pão de Açúcar EC's under-15 sides before moving to Lithuania in 2006, with FC Vilnius. He then worked for three years in the United Arab Emirates with Al-Nasr, before returning to Brazil in 2010 with Corinthians.[1]
After working in the under-13, under-15 and under-17 sides of Corinthians, Zanardi was dismissed by the club on 21 November 2016.[2] The following 3 May, he was appointed head coach of Portuguesa's under-20 squad.[3]
In August 2017, after being an interim of the main squad for one match,[4] Zanardi was promoted to Lusa's main squad as an assistant.[5] The following 20 February, he moved to Guarani and took over the under-20s.[6]
On 19 February 2019, Zanardi was named head coach of the under-20 side of Santos.[7] He left roughly a year later,[8] and took over the same category at São Bernardo shortly after.
On 1 October 2021, after first team head coach Ricardo Catalá left, Zanardi was appointed in charge of São Bernardo for the remainder of the Copa Paulista,[9] and led the side to their second-ever title of the tournament. He remained in charge of the club in the following years, achieving promotion in the 2022 Série D and reaching the quarterfinals of the 2023 Campeonato Paulista.
On 31 March 2024, Zanardi was named head coach of Série B side Goiás.[10] He was sacked from the club on 4 August, after a 2–1 loss to Novorizontino.[11]
