[edit] Career
[edit] Brazilian clubs
Renato started his career in Esportivo in Bento Gonçalves where he grew up. He was later signed with Grêmio, where in 1983 he won the Libertadores Cup, beating Peñarol of Uruguay, and the Intercontinental Cup, beating Hamburger SV of Germany, and scoring twice.[1]
In 1986 he moved to Flamengo and won the National Championship in the following year. Then in 1988 Renato moved abroad, signing with A.S. Roma. However, he failed to settle in Italy and returned to Flamengo after only one disappointing season, in time to win one more trophy, the Brazil Cup, in 1990.
Renato's career in Fluminense is generally associated to his belly goal in the Campeonato Carioca of 1995, against Flamengo, in the year when Flamengo celebrated 100 years. With his goal he was crowned the King of Rio in that year. In the same year, he led Flu to the semi-finals of the Brazilian Championship.
[edit] Brazil national team
Renato Gaúcho appeared 43 times for the Brazilian national team, scoring four goals.
In 1986, while preparing for the FIFA World Cup Finals in Mexico, Renato was dropped from the squad by coach Tele Santana for disciplinary reasons, primarily partying late and missing training. As a result, his team-mate and close friend Leandro also withdrew from the squad on the eve of Brazil's departure for Mexico. Ironically, Leandro's replacement at right-back was the relatively unknown Josimar of Botofogo, who became one of the stars of the tournament.

However, he failed to win the Copa Libertadores as Fluminense was defeated in a penalty shootout to underdogs LDU from Ecuador.[3] On August 10, 2008 Renato was sacked as manager of Fluminense Football Club. His sacking followed an 2–1 defeat to the Brasileirão's bottom side, Ipatinga which left them joint-bottom of the table.[4] On September 18, 2008, he was hired as Vasco's manager.[5] Fluminense have hired former Vasco da Gama coach Renato Gaúcho on July 21, 2009 he replaces Carlos Alberto Parreira, who was sacked in July 2009, Renato has already coached Fluminense twice before (in 2002–2003 and again in 2007–2008).[6] On September 1, 2009 Fluminense club officials have fired the coach due to poor results.
