Career edit

Born in Campinas, São Paulo, Baptista started playing for Juventus as a central defender. However, due to his lack of temper on the field, he was advised to leave football by his father, Nelsinho.[1]

In 2002, after spells at clubs in his native state, Baptista joined his father's staff at Goiás, as a fitness coach. The duo remained together for the following nine years, only splitting due to the Japanese tsunami in 2011, when both were at Kashiwa Reysol; Eduardo subsequently returned to Sport Recife (club which he already worked from 2007 to 2009) while Nelsinho remained at Kashiwa.[1]

On 31 January 2014 Baptista was appointed interim coach, replacing fired Geninho.[2] On 14 February he was definitely appointed as head coach,[3] and led the side to both Campeonato Pernambucano and Copa do Nordeste winning campaigns.

On 17 September 2015, Baptista left Sport and was appointed at Fluminense, replacing fired Enderson Moreira.[4] On 25 February 2016, after only two wins in six matches, he was sacked by Flu.[5] On 15 April, he replaced Alexandre Gallo at Ponte Preta's reign.[6]

Baptista took Ponte to an impressive eighth place in the league, only four points shy of qualifying for the continental championship. On 2 December 2016 he resigned,[7] and signed a one-year contract with Palmeiras fourteen days later.[8]

On 4 May 2017, Baptista was relieved from his duties at Verdão.[9] He was named Atlético Paranaense head coach on 23 May,[10] but was sacked nonetheless on 10 July.[11]

On 20 September 2017, Baptista returned to Ponte.[12] Dismissed the following 9 March,[13] he took over Coritiba on 16 April 2018,[14] but was sacked from the latter club on 10 August.[15]

On 15 August 2018, Baptista returned to Sport, replacing Claudinei Oliveira and joining the club four months after his father Nelsinho left the very same role.[16] He resigned on 24 September, after just eight matches,[17] and was announced as Vila Nova head coach on 23 February 2019.[18]

Sacked by Vila on 13 July 2019,[19] Baptista was named in charge of CSA the following 10 February.[20] Dismissed by the latter on 30 August 2020,[21] he was appointed head coach of Mirassol four days later.[22]

Baptista led Mirassol to their first-ever national title in the 2020 Série D, and managed to avoid relegation in the 2021 Série C. On 11 November 2021, he was appointed Remo head coach,[23] with a return to Mirassol for the 2022 season also agreed.[24]

On 2 March 2022, a day after knocking out Grêmio of the 2022 Copa do Brasil, Baptista announced his departure from Mirassol.[25] The following day, he was announced as head coach of Juventude in the top tier,[26] but was sacked from the latter on 20 June, with the club in the last position.[27]

On 28 August 2022, Baptista was named Atlético Goianiense head coach,[28] but left on 29 September after just six matches.[29] On 16 November, he was presented at Novorizontino for the upcoming season.[30]

Baptista is the son of Nelsinho Baptista, who is also a coach.[31]
