Oswaldo's Coaching Career
Oswaldo de Oliveira was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He started his career as a head coach for Corinthians in 1999. This happened when the previous coach, Vanderlei Luxemburgo, left to manage the Brazilian National Team.
Early Success in Brazil
In his first year with Corinthians, Oswaldo led the team to win two big titles: the São Paulo State Championship and the Brazilian Série A. The next year, in 2000, he made history. He coached Corinthians to win the very first FIFA Club World Championship. This was a huge achievement for the club.
After leaving Corinthians, Oswaldo coached many other Brazilian teams. These included Vasco, Fluminense, São Paulo, and Flamengo. He also coached Vitória, Santos, and Cruzeiro. During this time, he won the 2002 São Paulo State Super Championship with São Paulo. He also had a short time coaching Al-Ahli in Qatar.
Success in Japan
In 2007, Oswaldo de Oliveira moved to Japan to coach the J. League team Kashima Antlers. He had a very successful time there. He won the J. League Division 1 title three times (in 2007, 2008, and 2009). He also won the Emperor's Cup twice and the Japanese Super Cup twice. In 2009, he became the first J. League manager to be named J. League Manager of the Year three times. This shows how good he was in Japan.
Return to Brazil
In 2012, Oswaldo returned to Brazil. He became the manager of Botafogo, a team from Rio de Janeiro. In 2013, he helped Botafogo finish 4th in the league. This result allowed the team to play in the Copa Libertadores, a very important South American club competition.
After the 2013 season, Oswaldo was hired by Santos FC. In 2015, he coached Palmeiras. This made him the first manager to have worked with all four major teams in São Paulo. These teams are Corinthians, Palmeiras, Santos, and São Paulo. He also coached all four major teams in Rio de Janeiro: Botafogo, Flamengo, Fluminense, and Vasco. This is a rare and impressive achievement in Brazilian football.
