Early Life and Playing Days
Dado Cavalcanti was born in Arcoverde and grew up in Caruaru, Brazil. When he was 17, in 1997, he joined the youth team of Santa Cruz. In 2000, he left Santa Cruz and moved to Náutico, but he didn't play much there.
Dado's Coaching Journey
Dado Cavalcanti started his coaching career after being invited by Muricy Ramalho, a well-known coach at Náutico. Dado first worked with Náutico's youth team.
First Steps as a Coach
In 2006, after working as an assistant coach for Sport, Dado became the head coach of Ulbra Ji-Paraná. He led this team to win two championships in a row, called the Campeonato Rondoniense, in 2006 and 2007.
After that, in 2008, Dado coached Brazsat FC and won another championship, the Campeonato Brasiliense Terceira Divisão. He then joined Santa Cruz again, first as an assistant. In early 2010, he became the main coach.
Moving Around Brazil
Dado left Santa Cruz in July 2010 and became the coach of América-RN. Even though the team was relegated (moved down a league), he stayed until March 2011.
Over the next two years, Dado coached several teams, including Central, Icasa, and Ypiranga-PE. He also coached Luverdense and won the Campeonato Mato-Grossense with them in 2012.
In 2013, Dado became the coach of Mogi Mirim. He led them to the semifinals of the Campeonato Paulista, which is a big state championship. Because of his success, he was named the best coach of that tournament.
Coaching Big Clubs
On May 6, 2013, Dado became the coach of Paraná. Later that year, on December 13, he moved to coach Coritiba for the 2014 season. However, he was let go on March 31, 2014, after the team was knocked out of a championship.
Dado then coached Ponte Preta starting in April 2014, but he left in July. On August 12, he returned to his first club, Náutico, and helped them finish 13th in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, a national league.
In December 2014, Dado became the coach of Ceará, another team in the second division. He was there for only nine games before being fired in February 2015.
Success with Paysandu
Later in February 2015, Dado took over Paysandu. He had a lot of success with them, winning the Campeonato Paraense in 2016 and the Copa Verde in 2016. Despite these wins, he was sacked on June 7, 2016.
However, Dado returned to coach Paysandu on August 1, 2016, and stayed until the end of that year's season. He then coached Náutico again in December 2016, but left in February 2017. He also coached CRB for three months.
Dado returned to Paysandu for a third time on February 13, 2018, but was sacked again in July. In October, he went back to Paraná.
Recent Coaching Roles
Dado left Paraná in April 2019 and then coached the under-23 team of Bahia. He left Bahia in April 2020 to coach Ferroviária, but was let go in October.
On October 26, 2020, Dado returned to Bahia as a youth football coordinator. Then, on December 21, he became the head coach of Bahia's main team. He won the 2021 Copa do Nordeste with Bahia, which is a major regional championship. But he was sacked on August 17, 2021, because the team wasn't doing well in the league.
In December 2021, Dado became the coach of Vitória, Bahia's rivals. After finishing fifth in the 2022 Campeonato Baiano, he was replaced in March 2022. In May, he coached Vila Nova, but was sacked in July after nine games without a win.
On August 21, 2022, Dado returned to Náutico for a third time. He stayed for the 2023 season, even though the club was relegated. However, he was sacked on May 15, 2023, after a tough start in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C.
On July 10, 2023, Dado went back to América de Natal. He couldn't stop the team from being relegated, but he also worked as an assistant coach for the Brazil national football team under Fernando Diniz.
