Nelson Baptista Júnior (born July 22, 1950 in Campinas , SP , Brazil ) is usually called Nelsinho Baptista for short . The former soccer player and current coach appears as Nelson on some lists .

Even as a player he was able to celebrate some successes. However, he has primarily gained importance as a coach, where he won championships in his home country and in Japan.

Player career

Nelsinho Baptista began his career at the age of 17 in 1967 in his hometown of Campinas with the AA Ponte Preta club . From 1971 to 1977, the wing player was one of the regulars of São Paulo FC , with whom he won the 1973 São Paulo state championship . After moving to the port city in 1978, he also achieved success with FC Santos at Paulistão . He let his playing career come to an end at the traditional but no longer particularly important CA Juventus in São Paulo.

Coaching career

At the age of 35, Nelsinho Baptista began his coaching career in Sorocaba at the EC São Bento in the province of São Paulo. In the following decades he coached numerous well-known Brazilian clubs such as Corinthians São Paulo , his ex-club São Paulo FC , Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte and FC Santos . The Brazilian, known as the Wandervogel, did not stay with any club for more than two years. With Corinthians he became Brazilian champion in 1990.

Outside of his home country he also worked for several clubs, including Verdy Kawasaki in Japan and Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia. He led Verdy in 1994 and 1995 to win the championship and in 1994 the league cup. In 1999 he gave a guest appearance in Santiago de Chile at the top club Colo-Colo there . After that, he returned to Brazil and led the fate among others, the great traditional clubs Sao Paulo and in Rio at Flamengo before he again in Japan, this time in 2003-2005 Nagoya Grampus Eight was active.

At the first division club Corinthians São Paulo in 2007 he became the fourth coach during the season. But even he could not prevent the former top club from relegating to the Brazilian second division and was fired. In 2008 he managed to win the Cup, the Copa do Brasil , with Sport Recife with a 2-0 home win after a 3-1 defeat in the first leg in the finals against his former club Corinthians thanks to the away goals rule . In May 2009 he was replaced as coach by his compatriot Émerson Leão .

Nelsinho Baptista returned to Japan only a few months later and took over the coaching position at Kashiwa Reysol . However, the Brazilian could no longer save the Japanese first division club from relegation to the J. League Division 2 . In the 2010 season, the team succeeded as the sovereign leader in the immediate rise. Completely surprising, Nelsinho Baptista's team also prevailed in the first division and became champions in 2011. Kashiwa Reysol was the first team in Japanese football history that was able to win the championship in the first division after a championship in the second division. The club also qualified for the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup and Nelsinho Baptista was named Japan's coach of the year. In the following season, the Brazilian won the Kaiser Cup and the Supercup with his team . In the league, Kashiwa Reysol reached sixth place in the table, but qualified again for the AFC Champions League by winning the Kaiser Cup . There they failed in the semifinals at the eventual tournament winner Guangzhou Evergrande . In 2013 he won the League Cup with Kashiwa Reysol and the Copa Suruga Bank the following year . In the J. League, the club was only tenth, then fourth, before Nelsinho Baptista left the club after the 2014 season and was the new coach at league competitor Vissel Kobe .

In December 2017, Baptista was introduced to Sport Recife as their coach for the 2018 season. He was released there on April 24, 2018.
