Club career

Lima began her football career when she was 14 years old, on Saad Esporte Clube. In Brazil, she also played as a midfielder for São Paulo FC from 1997 to 2000, Palestra de São Bernardo, Barra de Teresópolis (2001) and Veranópolis (2002). Lima had also played for the Brazilian national under-17 women's football team. [2]

In 2003, Lima moved to Spain, playing for the clubs Estudiantes de Huelva, Puebla de la Calzada, Prainsa de Zaragoza and L’Estartit. [3] She finished her playing career in 2010, at the Italian club Napoli CF. [4]

International career

Born in Brazil, Lima has never played for clubs in Portugal, but she is of Portuguese descent, which allowed her to attain dual citizenship and play for the Portugal women's national team, making her debut in 2007.

Managerial career

Back in Brazil, Lima pursued a coaching career. She became a coaching assistant for Portuguesa de Desportos in 2010. She became the titular coach of CA Juventus until 2013, when she was invited to manage the Brazilian under-17 team. In 2015, she coached São José Esporte Clube, the last Copa Libertadores Femenina champion. She led the club to second place at the 2015 Copa do Brasil.

In 2016, Lima was appointed as coach of the Brazilian women's national team in place of Vadão, thus becoming the first woman to coach the Seleção Feminina. Lima's first competition as national coach was the Torneio Internacional de Manaus, on which she led the team to their seventh title. [5] She was fired from the Brazilian team in September 2017; under her run, the Seleção won seven games, lost five and drew one. [6]

In July 2021, she went on to manage the Ecuador women's national team. [7] She resigned after Ecuador's defeat to Paraguay at Copa América Femenina 2022. [8] [9]

In April 2023, she became manager to the Peru women's national team. [10]
