Vanderlei Luxemburgo da Silva , also known as Wanderley Luxemburgo , because he uses both spellings, (born May 10, 1952 in Nova Iguaçu ) is a Brazilian football coach . As a player he had successes with the CR Flamengo in Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s . From the 1980s he became the most successful coach in Brazilian football history to date. He won the national championship five times with four different clubs. He also won twelve state championships. Vanderlei Luxemburgo was also the head coach of the Brazilian national team from 1998 to 2000.

Career

player

Born in industrial Nova Iguaçu northwest of Rio de Janeiro, Luxemburgo began playing football in the late 1960s in the state capital in the youth of Botafogo FR , where he won three state championships in a row in his age group from 1968 to 1970.

In 1971, the 18-year-old left winger joined the big local rivals CR Flamengo , where he soon became a regular player. At first he was also used in the youth and won the state championships in 1971 and 1972. With the youth national team, he won the junior tournament in Cannes in the south of France in 1973 and 1974 and acted as captain. With the Flamengo first team, he won the state championships in 1972, 1974 and 1978 and the Torneio do Povo in 1972 . From 1974 he had strong competition in his position at Flamengo with the later 70-time national player Júnior .

After the championship of 1978 he moved to SC Internacional in Porto Alegre , for which he was hardly used. In 1980 he ended his playing career again at Botafogo.

Trainer

As coach of the Brazilian national soccer team from 1998 to 2000, Luxemburgo started promisingly by winning the Copa America in 1999. After that, the failures increased. Brazil lost within a month in qualifying for the soccer World Cup 2002 against Paraguay (1: 2) and against Chile (0: 3), the second and the third Brazilian defeat in qualifying games. When Brazil again eliminated a month later in the quarter-finals of the 2000 Olympic football tournament against Cameroon, he was dismissed. Luxemburgo's tenure as coach is considered the most glorious in the recent history of the national football team in Brazil. The Brazilian press accused him of fickleness, having used 91 different players in 34 national team games.

Luxemburgo was more successful as a club coach. From December 30, 2004 to December 4, 2005 he coached Real Madrid . Before moving to Madrid, Luxemburgo worked as a coach at Pelé Club FC Santos . He had won the Brazilian national championship with Santos, as he had with three other clubs, which is still a record in Brazil.

In the 2013 season he coached the Fluminense Rio de Janeiro until he was dismissed in the relegation battle five game days before the end of the season. It would have been a first in the history of Brazilian football if the previous year's champions had been relegated. Under his successor Cristóvão Borges, the club ended the season on a relegation zone, but still held the class due to a controversial decision of the sports court.

After a one-year break, Luxemburgo took over the Série A Klub CR Vasco da Gama in May 2019 .
