Career
Born in São Paulo, Marques began his career in 2008, being a coach in Corinthians' youth schools named Chute Inicial.[1] He fully joined the club's structure in 2011, as a technical evaluator, and subsequently coached their under-11, under-13,[2] under-15[3] and under-16 squads.[4]
In 2023, Marques became an assistant of Guilherme Dalla Déa at Timão's under-17 team, before moving to the under-20s under the same role in the following year.[4] On 20 June 2024, after Danilo was dismissed, he also left the club after a 15-year spell.[5]
On 6 October 2024, Marques joined Ibrachina as head coach of the under-17 team.[6] He left the club the following 29 April, joining Cleber Xavier at Santos as his assistant.[7]
Marques remained at Santos even after Xavier's dismissal on 17 August 2025,[8] and was confirmed as head coach of the under-20 team five days later.[9] He led the side to the Campeonato Paulista Sub-20 title at the end of the year, before returning to his assistant role in the first team on 24 March 2026.[10]
