Career

Active career

Santana began his professional career as a player in 1971 with CR Vasco da Gama . In 1973 he moved briefly to Olaria AC , where he made his breakthrough. He also remained a regular when he returned to Vasco. From 1976, the defender played for America RN for four years and ended his active career in 1980, which he had spent exclusively in his home country. His greatest successes were a total of five national championships and the Brazilian championship in 1974 with Vasco da Gama.

Career as a coach

In 1981 Santana began his coaching career in the United Arab Emirates with Al-Wasl . After five years he returned to Brazil and took over his ex-club Vasco da Gama. Until 1992 he alternated between clubs from the Arab world and clubs in his home country. After his second interlude at Vasco da Gama, where he won the Rio de Janeiro state championship twice in a row with the club , he celebrated his third coaching title with the EC Bahia in 1994, the Bahia state championship . In the next two seasons he won the national championship of Rio de Janeiro first with Fluminense , then with CR Flamengo . He repeated this in 1997 with Botafogo . He had won the championship of his home country with all four major clubs from the region. In 1999 he led the EC Bahia to the Bahia State Championship for the second time. His third engagement at Vasco was also more than successful from 2000 when he won the Coppa Mercosur and the national championship title.

He won further titles in 2002 and 2003 with the EC Vitória . Employment at various other Brazilian clubs followed. In 2004 he saved Vasco, in 2005 Flamengo from relegation. After a job in Japan at Vegalta Sendai , he did the same with Flamengo again in 2007 and even won his next national championship from Rio in 2008. In April 2008, Joel Santana succeeded his compatriot Carlos Alberto Parreira as the national coach of South Africa . Despite a good fourth place in the Confederations Cup 2009 in South Africa, he was dismissed in October 2009 and could not be at the World Cup in his own country in 2010; responsible for this were the poor results in the friendly matches and the failure to qualify for the Africa Cup in 2010 .

Santana returned home. He became national champion with Botafogo in 2010. Then he went to Cruzeiro, from 2011 he was back in the coaching bench at EC Bahia. At the end of January 2012 he was again coach of Flamengo. There he was released as a trainer at the end of July 2012.
