A Winning Start: Coaching Corinthians
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.
In his first year, Oliveira led Corinthians to win two big titles: the São Paulo State Championship and the Brazilian Série A. In 2000, he made history by guiding Corinthians to win the very first FIFA Club World Championship. This was a huge achievement for the club!
Coaching Many Brazilian Teams
After his successful time at Corinthians, Oliveira coached many other well-known Brazilian teams. These included Vasco, Fluminense, São Paulo, and Flamengo.
He won another title with São Paulo, the 2002 São Paulo State Super Championship. He also had a short time coaching Al-Ahli in Qatar.
Success in Japan with Kashima Antlers
In 2007, Oliveira moved to Japan to coach the J. League team Kashima Antlers. He had a very successful period there. He led the team to win three J. League Division 1 titles in a row (2007, 2008, 2009).
He also won the Emperor's Cup twice and the Japanese Super Cup twice. Because of his great work, he was named J. League Manager of the Year three times. This made him the first J. League manager to achieve this honor.
Return to Brazil and Unique Achievements
After his time in Japan, Oliveira returned to Brazil in 2012. 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 qualify for the Copa Libertadores, a major South American club competition.
In 2015, he coached Palmeiras. This made him the first manager ever to have worked with all four main football teams in São Paulo. These teams are Corinthians, Palmeiras, Santos, and São Paulo. He also coached all four main teams in Rio de Janeiro: Botafogo, Flamengo, Fluminense, and Vasco. This is a very rare and impressive achievement!
