Emily Alves da Cunha Lima (born September 29, 1980 in São Paulo ) is a former Brazilian soccer player and active coach . From 2016 to 2017 she acted as the first coach of the Brazilian national soccer team .

Career as active

Emily Lima began playing soccer at Saad EC when she was fourteen . From 1997 to 2000 she was a young talent of the first professionally run women's section of São Paulo FC , with which she won two championships of the state of São Paulo alongside the captain Sissi . After the SPFC closed its women's division in 2000, she joined Barra FC in Teresópolis and played with him in the Rio de Janeiro state championship. In the 2001 championship semifinals against Fluminense FC, she twisted her knee shortly before the final whistle and subsequently had to undergo surgery, which is why she missed the victorious championship final against CR Vasco da Gama with the young Marta .

In late 2002 Lima began a long-term engagement with various clubs in the Spanish Super League . From here, as the daughter of a native Portuguese, who had come to Brazil as a child himself, she tried to obtain Portuguese citizenship. After she was granted this in 2007, she ran from then on for the women's team of the Portuguese national selection . Because her knee injury had never completely healed and she refused a recent operation, Lima gave up competitive sports and thus her active career in 2009, shortly after moving to a Neapolitan club in Italy.

Career as a trainer

Initially favoring a change to sports management, Lima was moved by her brother to accept a job as a coach at Club Portuguesa in her hometown. In 2013 she was appointed to the technical staff of CBF as the first female trainer, where she was responsible for the first-time formation of U15 and U17 junior squads for girls. In 2014 she took over the training of the São José EC in São José dos Campos , whose women's team had achieved great success in previous years. Under her leadership, the team won another national championship in 2015 and reached the final of the national championship in the same year , as well as the final of the last Copa do Brasil Feminino held to date in 2016 .

After Vadão resigned as head trainer, Lima was appointed to the post of national coach of the "Seleção Feminina" on November 1, 2016. Her work was determined by a generation change she forced for the cadre, which had become increasingly out of date over the past few years. In addition, Lima relied increasingly on young up-and-coming talents from the still young Brazilian national championship , such as B. Gabi Nunes ( SC Corinthians ), Millene ( Rio Preto EC ), Djenifer Becker ( EC Iranduba ) and Dani Neuhaus ( Santos FC ). Ludmila ( Atlético Madrid ) and Leticia Santos ( SC Sand ), who play abroad, had previously trained at São José EC. However, the results achieved during this upheaval did not convince the management of the CBF. Especially among the leading nations in women's football, including Brazil, the performance gap had widened, as the direct comparison during the 2017 Tournament of Nations in the USA revealed. A series of five defeats in six games against Germany , the USA and Australia with only one draw against Japan in the summer of 2017 prompted the CBF to dismiss Lima as national coach on September 22, 2017. It was replaced by its predecessor Vadão, who again relied on the tried and tested older players around Marta and Formiga who played abroad . Lima's dismissal had elicited expressions of solidarity in their favor, in which the players Cristiane , Francielle , Rosana , Andréia Rosa and Maurine demonstrated their resignation in protest against this decision, which was later only revised by the former.

In spring 2018 Lima took over the coaching position at the then reigning champions Santos FC , whom she led to the national championship. In the final of the Copa Libertadores Femenina 2018, the team lost on penalties to the Colombian club Atlético Huila . After the second elimination in the quarter-finals of the Brazilian championship in a row (each against Ferroviária ), Lima announced on September 4, 2019 that it would immediately resign from the post of head coach.
