Adilson Dias Batista (born 16 March 1968) is a Brazilian professional football coach and former player.

His professional playing career as a centre-back spanned 13 years, during which he was mainly associated with Cruzeiro and Grêmio. Adilson also represented the Brazil national team in four occasions.

Playing career

Born in Adrianópolis, Paraná, he was known as Adilson during his playing days, and finished his formation with Atlético Paranaense. Promoted to the first-team in 1987 by head coach Levir Culpi, he was a regular starter before moving to Cruzeiro in 1989.

Adilson subsequently represented Internacional, Atlético Mineiro and Grêmio before moving abroad in 1997 and joining Júbilo Iwata. He returned to his home country in 2000, signing for Corinthians and retiring with the club shortly after.

Coaching career

Batista started his coaching career with Mogi Mirim in 2001. In the following season, he was in charge of América-RN and Avaí.

On 27 May 2003, Batista was named head coach of Paraná in the Série A, but moved to fellow league team Grêmio on 22 August. On 4 June 2004, he was dismissed by the latter.

Batista subsequently took over Paysandu before being appointed head coach of Sport in 2005. Late in the year he was at the helm of Figueirense, but returned to Japan and Júbilo Iwata in 2006.
