Paulo Autuori de Mello (born 25 August 1956), known as Paulo Autuori, is a Brazilian football executive and manager.
Early life
A football fan since early childhood and a futsal player, Autuori had to give up his dream of becoming a professional footballer after contracting poliomyelitis in his teens.[1] The disease left him with an atrophied leg and a permanent limp on his walk, which prevented him from playing. However, he did not give up his dream of being part of the footballing world, and decided to learn other aspects of the game, specifically becoming a manager.[2]
Autuori graduated in Physical Education at Universidade Castelo Branco; and attended a Sport Admninstration course at PUC-RJ and a Soccer Coach Course at UERJ.
Coaching career
Autuori began his career as a fitness coach, working at Portuguesa-RJ, America-RJ, São Bento, Marília,[3] Bonsuccesso and Botafogo before meeting Marinho Peres, who invited him as a part of his staff at Portuguese side Vitória de Guimarães in 1986.[1] In 1987, he became manager of his own right, after being named at the helm of Nacional in the Segunda Divisão.
In 1989, after achieving promotion in his first year and a 10th-place finish in his second, Autuori returned to Vitória, now being appointed manager of the side. He left the club on 25 September 1990, after a 0–0 draw with Gil Vicente,[4][5] and took over fellow top tier side Marítimo shortly after.
Autuori left the Leões do Almirante Reis in June 1993, but returned to the club in December, replacing compatriot Edinho. On 12 July 1995, shortly after leaving Marítimo, he returned to Botafogo as the head coach of the club,[6] and led them to the 1995 Campeonato Brasileiro title.
On 26 December 1995, Autuori left Fogão and agreed to a contract with Benfica for the 1996–97 season.[7] After officially taking over on 11 July 1996, he only lasted 23 matches before being sacked on 19 January 1997.[8]
In 1997, he won the Copa Libertadores with Cruzeiro. In 1998, he joined Flamengo, where he guided them to an 11th-placed finished in the Campeonato Brasileiro, and a group stage exit in the 1998 Copa Mercosur. The following year, he joined Sport Club Internacional, and then Santos, and shortly after that rejoined Cruzeiro for the 1999–2000 season. In 2000, he joined Vitoria Guimaraes.
In 2003, he joined the Peru national team as manager to lead them through 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification and the 2004 Copa América. His first official match was on the first matchday of the World Cup Qualifiers, which finished in a 4–1 win against Paraguay. Peru finished ninth in the table, with 18 points. In April 2005, shortly after the 2–2 draw with Ecuador, he quit Peru, with the reasoning being that he declined to declare in front of a Congress, due to the Peru national team scandals.[9]
Shortly after quitting Peru, he was hired by São Paulo to replace Émerson Leão, who had just gone to Japan. In that year, he won the 2005 Copa Libertadores and the 2005 FIFA Club World Championship.[10]
Ten days after winning the Club World Championship, on 29 December 2005, he left São Paulo to sign with Japanese club Kashima Antlers, with the financial opportunity being the main reason for the decision.[11] At the end of 2006 he announced his new club as Cruzeiro, this was his third time at the club.
From 2007 to 2009, Autuori managed Qatari club Al-Rayyan.
In May 2009, Gremio announced Autuori as their new manager with a contract until 2009. However, on 12 November 2009, Autuori decided to leave Grêmio and return to Al-Rayyan.[12]
On 21 November 2009, Qatar League side Al Rayyan replaced Brazilian coach Marcus Paqueta with his compatriot Paulo Autuori. The latter only left the club six months ago to join Gremio in his homeland, but made a swift return after signing a three-year contract.[13]
Autuori became the coach of the Qatar Olympic team on 27 August 2011.[14][15] He replaced Frenchman Bernard Simondi. His first assignment was to lead the team during the 2012 London Olympics Qualification stage. Qatar failed to qualify for the Olympics, after finishing third in their group.
On 20 February 2012 The 55-year-old Brazilian became the fourth manager of the Qatar national team in the previous year.[16] He was fired by the QFA on 15 January 2013 after his team failed to qualify for the knockout round of the 2013 Gulf Cup.[17] Shortly after, he was hired by Vasco da Gama.[18] However, he left the club on 10 July 2013, due to poor results and internal conflicts. The following day, Autuori signed with São Paulo, returning to the club after eight years. This time, however, Autuori arrived in São Paulo to solve a crisis, with the club having lost its five last games.[19]
On the following day, Autuori was introduced as the new coach despite the preference of many fans, who wanted Muricy Ramalho's return. The new coach of São Paulo said that, if the choice were his he would have signed Ramalho who Autuori considered a "winner". Autuori affirmed that he felt "a lot of satisfaction to return to this glorious institution, with big aims." The former vascaíno coach said that "I have not come to be loved; I have come to be champion."[20]
Even in a middle of a crisis, Autuori has improved the ambient in São Paulo, a bad one in comparison to period that Ney Franco was the coach. Lúcio's removal from staff, according some people of club, was essential for this.[21]
On 9 September 2013, Autuori was fired after a 2–0 loss against Coritiba, a result that kept the club in relegation zone of Brazilian League. In a report from the official site of club, there is a praising about his work. His substitute was Muricy Ramalho, who also replaced him in 2006 in club from Morumbi Stadium.[22]
On 5 June 2018 Autuori was announced as the new Director of football in the Bulgarian champion Ludogorets Razgrad, but on the next day he was presented as the new manager of the team, since Dimitar Dimitrov wanted to leave the club.[23] He stepped down from his position in October 2018, citing personal reasons.[24]
