Anderson Simas Luciano (born 11 April 1976), commonly known as Tcheco, is a Brazilian football coach and former midfielder.
Born in Curitiba, Paraná, as a child, he tried to mimic the interjection " tchê " from a neighbour but said tcheco instead. His grandmother noticed this and nicknamed him "Tcheco". [1]
Tcheco began his career with hometown side Paraná Clube, but never established himself as a regular starter and was briefly loaned to Esportivo in 1998. [1]
Tcheco moved to Malutrom in 2000, becoming a regular starter as they won the Group Green and White of the Copa João Havelange. [1] He joined Coritiba in May 2002, and scored 11 goals in the 2003 season before departing for Saudi club Al-Ittihad in September of that year. [2]
On 8 January 2005, Tcheco returned to his home country after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Santos. [3] He then returned to his parent club, before signing for Grêmio ahead of the 2006 season.
Tcheco returned to Al-Ittihad in December 2007, [4] but was presented back at Grêmio the following 3 June. [5] On 10 December 2009, he was confirmed as an addition of Corinthians for the upcoming campaign, [6] but returned to Coxa on 7 September 2010. [7]
Initially on loan, Tcheco subsequently signed a permanent deal with Coritiba, and retired at the age of 36 in July 2012. [8]
Shortly after retiring, Tcheco became an assistant coach for Coritiba. [9] On 17 November 2013, he was named head coach of the club for the remaining three matches of the season, [10] managing to save them from relegation.
Tcheco was subsequently in charge of the Coxa's under-23 squad and left the club in March 2016 after the team was disbanded. [11] He returned to his first club Paraná in December to work as a football executive, [12] being later also an assistant coach.
On 20 December 2017, Tcheco returned to Coritiba as an assistant. [13] He was again an interim the following April, after Sandro Forner was sacked, before being permanently named head coach of the club on 13 August, in the place of Eduardo Baptista. [14]
Tcheco left Coritiba in November 2018, [15] before being named head coach of Barra-SC the following 12 April. [16] On 24 September 2019, he took over Rio Branco-PR, [17] but was dismissed amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. [18]
On 22 December 2020, Tcheco was appointed FC Cascavel head coach for the upcoming campaign. [19] He left the club by mutual consent on 4 August 2022, [20] before taking over Azuriz on 3 November. [21]
Tcheco left Azuriz on 1 March 2023, [22] and was named at the helm of Caxias on 13 April. [23] He left on 20 June, after just nine matches. [24]
Tcheco returned to Paraná on 16 February 2024, now as head coach of the first team. [25] He left on 5 August after achieving promotion from the Campeonato Paranaense Série Prata as champions [26] to take over Série B side Chapecoense, [27] but was dismissed after just 13 days. [28]
