Temporarily while in charge of Persipura, he went back to his native Brazil for a coaching course. [1]

Coaching career

Persipura Jayapura

Lessa was given the Persipura Jayapura job in 2015 and replaced Jacksen F. Tiago as manager. [2] He won the 2015 Indonesia Super League and the 2015 AFC Cup in order to stay as manager. [3] Instead, he steered them to a second-place finish in the league and a round-of-16 exit in the AFC Cup. By January 2016, they had requested that he leave Persipura [4] and in March the Brazilian felt some trepidation over a possible dismissal after tying with Arema Cronus and finishing bottom in Group B of the 2016 Bhayangkara Cup. [5] On top of that, former footballer Nico Dimo advised the board to entrust the management to Mettu Dwaramury, Chris Leo Yarangga and Fernado Fairio instead as well. [6] Finally, the tactician was relieved of his duties in the beginning of April 2016. [7]

Madura United and Sriwijaya

Soon after, Lessa joined Madura United, where he served as the physiotherapist and assistant manager. [8] [9] Eventually, he left them too in 2017. [10]

In April 2017, the Rio de Janeiro native was handed the Sriwijaya F.C. coaching job as the club had shown interest in appointing him by March. [11] He usually uses the 4-3-3 formation in games. [12]

Recording three straight losses in a row in 2017, Lessa was chastised by the Sriwijaya board but was given an opportunity to redeem himself in the fifth round against Mitra Kukar [13] [14] which he won 3–1. Supposing they lost, the former physiotherapist could conceivably have been fired by the club's management prematurely. [14]

On 17 June 2017, Lessa was ousted from his job by the club and Hartono Ruslan replaced him as caretaker coach. [15]
