Dorival Silvestre Júnior (born 25 April 1962), known as Dorival Júnior, is a retired football who played as a defensive midfielder, and the current manager of Santos.

Playing career

Known only as Júnior during his playing days, he was born in Araraquara, São Paulo, and made his debuts as a senior with hometown's Ferroviária in 1982. Two years later, after a brief stint at Marília, he moved to Guarani.

In 1985, Júnior began playing in the state of Santa Catarina, first for Avaí and later for Joinville. In 1988 he went back to his native state, representing São José, but during the same year he moved to Coritiba.

In 1989 Júnior joined Palmeiras, remaining with the club until 1992. In the following year he was sold to Grêmio, and subsequently joined Juventude in 1994.

Júnior had subsequent spells at Matonense, Botafogo-SP and Criciúma, retiring with the latter in 1999, aged 39.[1]

Managerial career

Júnior started his managerial career in 2002 with his first club Ferroviária,[2] joining Figueirense in 2003 and winning the Campeonato Catarinense in the following year. In 2005, he was appointed Fortaleza manager, again being crowned champions of the state league.

In the same year, Júnior managed Criciúma and Juventude. In 2006, he won the Campeonato Pernambucano with Sport Recife and also managed Avaí in the same year.

On 8 May 2007, after impressing with São Caetano during that year's Campeonato Paulista, Júnior was named Cruzeiro manager.[3]

On 3 December, despite finishing fifth, Júnior was fired[4] and subsequently joined Coritiba. After not renewing contract with the latter, he was appointed at the helm of Vasco da Gama, and was promoted from 2009 Série B.

On 5 December 2009 Júnior was named manager of Santos.[5] After notably winning the 2010 Campeonato Paulista with an extremely offensive football, with Neymar, Paulo Henrique Ganso and Robinho as its key units, he was dismissed on 21 September, after an altercation with Neymar.[6]

Júnior subsequently managed Atlético Mineiro,[7] Internacional, Flamengo,[8] Vasco da Gama, Fluminense and Palmeiras, without the same success. On 9 July 2015 he returned to Santos, replacing Marcelo Fernandes.[9]

Personal life

Dorival is the nephew of the former Brazilian player Dudu.[10] His son, Lucas Silvestre, is also his assistant since 2010.
