Luís Airton Barroso "Lulù" Oliveira (born 24 March 1969) is a football manager and former player, who is currently coach of Floriana in the Maltese Premier League. A former striker, he spent most of his playing career in Italy. Born in Brazil, Oliveira was an international footballer for Belgium.
Club career
Born in a Brazilian favela in São Luis in Maranhão, in 1985 he was signed by Anderlecht in Belgium, where he started his career and played until 1992.
He then moved to Italy, where he played for Cagliari, Fiorentina, Bologna, Como, Catania, Foggia, Venezia and Lucchese, becoming famous in his early years at Cagliari and Fiorentina as a prolific and effective Serie A striker.
In 2006, he accepted to play Nuorese of Serie C2/A, also in order to get closer to his family (his wife in Sardinia). In 2008, following the disbandment of his club, he agreed for a move to Serie D team Derthona.
In July 2009 Oliveira moved back to Sardinia, joining Eccellenza club Muravera, an Eccellenza club based at his wife's hometown, then retiring in 2010 at the age of 41.
International career
A naturalized Belgian citizen, he earned 31 caps for Belgium and played for his adopted country in the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
Coaching career
During his final season as a footballer, Oliveira e also served as player/manager for the last few months of the 2009–10 season, and then stated his interest in a coaching career in the next future.[1][2]
He successfully passed the category 2 (UEFA A) coaching exam in June 2011 in Italy.[3] In March 2012 he returned to Muravera, this time as head coach for the remaining four games of the season.[4] He was confirmed as Muravera coach also for the 2012–13 season, in which he led his small club to triumph in the Coppa Italia Eccellenza.
On 1 August 2014, it was announced Oliveira would become the new head coach of Lega Pro club Pro Patria with immediate effect.,[5] but he was dismissed on 4 November 2014 after eleven championship matches played by the team (Win: 1; Draw: 5; Loss: 5).
On 13 June 2015, Oliveira came to Malta to become the new head coach of Maltese Premier club Floriana.[6]
