Thiago Mendes Larghi (born 27 September 1980) is a Brazilian football manager.
Born in Paraíba do Sul, Rio de Janeiro,[2] Larghi began his professional career at Botafogo in 2011, as a performance analyst. In January 2013, he was called up by technical director Carlos Alberto Parreira to join Luiz Felipe Scolari's staff in the Brazil national team.[3]
After the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Larghi left the Seleção and spent some time in Europe.[1] In 2016, he returned to Brazil and joined Oswaldo de Oliveira's staff at Sport.[4]
Larghi remained as Oswaldo's assistant at Corinthians[5] and Atlético Mineiro. On 9 February 2018, after Oswaldo's dismissal from the latter, Larghi was the only staff member kept at Galo;[6] he was subsequently named interim manager.
On 25 June 2018, Larghi was appointed as permanent manager after over four months and 32 matches in charge, a record tenure for an interim manager in Brazil.[7] On 17 October, however, he was sacked and replaced by Levir Culpi.[8]
On 21 August 2020, after more than a year without a club, Larghi was named manager of Goiás in the first division,[9] but was sacked after only 38 days in charge.[10] On 5 December 2022, he was announced as an assistant manager of Corinthians.[11] He left the following 20 April, after head coach Fernando Lázaro was removed from the role.
