Career

Freitas was born in São Lourenço do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, and started his career in lower clubs in his state, as a fitness coach. His first managerial experience came up in 2000, as he took over Grêmio's women squad. [1]

After being an assistant of Internacional's under-17 squad, Freitas took over the under-20 sides of Brasil de Farroupilha, São José de Cachoeira  [ pt ] [2] and Santa Cruz-RS before returning to Grêmio in 2005, as manager of the under-17s. He left the club in 2008 for Juventude, [3] being in charge of the under-17s and under-20s while also acting as an interim first team manager for one Série B match. [4]

For the 2010 season, Freitas returned to Internacional, being named in charge of the under-20 team. [5] In April of the following year, he was appointed Lisca's assistant at Luverdense. [6]

In August 2011, Freitas moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Paraguayan side Club Guaraní as Beto Almeida's assistant; [7] in late November, as Almeida was sacked, he took over the side in an interim manner. [8] He then returned to Juventude the following February, being again named in charge of the under-20s [9] while also taking over the B-team. [10]

Freitas then returned to Grêmio in 2013, being manager of the under-20s; in May 2015, he was named interim manager of the first team, as Luiz Felipe Scolari was sacked. [11] He was in charge for two matches before the appointment of Roger Machado, and was later promoted to the role of permanent assistant manager of the first team. [12] In 2016, as Roger was dismissed, he was again interim for a further three matches.

On 21 December 2016, Freitas was announced as Mano Menezes' assistant at Cruzeiro. [13] The following November, he moved to Palmeiras under the same role, [14] but returned to Cruzeiro on 15 February 2019. [15]

In September 2019, Freitas moved to Cruzeiro's rivals Atlético Mineiro as an assistant manager and coordinator of a "transition team". [16] The following 27 February, he was named interim manager of the first team, after the dismissal of Rafael Dudamel. [17]

Returning to his previous role after the appointment of Jorge Sampaoli, Freitas was dismissed by Galo in March 2020. [18] He was subsequently an assistant of Roger Machado at Bahia and Fluminense before being named manager of Athletico Paranaense's under-23 team on 27 November 2021. [19]

On 8 February 2022, Freitas was dismissed after a poor start of the Campeonato Paranaense. [20] He returned to Grêmio shortly after, as an assistant, and subsequently worked in the same role at Cerro Porteño and Coritiba.
