Playing Career: Marcelo Chamusca's Early Days in Football
Marcelo Chamusca was born in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. He started his football journey as a young player at Bahia. After playing for Bahia's main team for two years, he also played for other clubs like Galícia, Treze, and Associação Atlética Colatina. He stopped playing football in 1993 while he was with Colatina.
Managerial Career: Chamusca's Journey as a Coach
Right after he stopped playing, Chamusca started his coaching career. He joined Vitória's youth team, which was a big rival of his old club, Bahia. After two years coaching at Sport, he went back to Bahia in 2000 to coach their youth team.
Becoming an Assistant Coach and First Manager Role
In 2002, Chamusca became an assistant coach. The next year, he worked as a director for a team called Palmeiras do Nordeste. His first time being the main manager was in 2004, when he led the CRB team.
In July 2004, Chamusca became an assistant coach for São Caetano, working with his brother. He continued to be an assistant coach for many other teams, including Bahia, Goiás, Botafogo, Oita Trinita (in Japan!), Sport, Avaí, Al-Arabi (in Qatar!), and El Jaish (also in Qatar).
Returning to Brazil and First Promotions
In 2012, Chamusca came back to Brazil and became the manager of Vitória da Conquista. On November 30, 2012, he took over as manager of Salgueiro. He helped Salgueiro get promoted in the 2013 Série D league.
On November 25, 2013, Chamusca became the manager of Fortaleza. They almost got promoted in the 2014 Série C season. After that, he left and joined Atlético Goianiense. But his time there was short, only two months. He then returned to Fortaleza on March 2, 2015.
