Danilo Gabriel de Andrade (born 11 June 1979), simply known as Danilo, is a Brazilian professional football coach and former player who played as an attacking midfielder. He is the current head coach of Corinthians' under-20 squad.

Danilo made over 450 appearances in a 20-year playing career, during which he was mainly associated with São Paulo and Corinthians. He twice won the Copa Libertadores and the FIFA Club World Cup, as is a four-time Brazilian league champion.

Danilo is considered by pundits to be the greatest player who was never called up to the Brazil national team. He was known for his technique, vision and goalscoring abilities, which earned him the nickname Zidanilo, in homage to Zinedine Zidane.

Coaching career

In January 2021, Danilo was appointed as Corinthians' new U23 coach. He took over the under-20 side on 31 January of the following year, replacing sacked Diogo Siston.

On 28 April 2023, Danilo was named interim head coach of the first team, after Cuca resigned.
