Born in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Porto was a futsal player before retiring and starting a physical education degree in São Paulo. He started his career at Juventus-SP's under-15 squad before joining Hélio dos Anjos' assistant at Fortaleza in 2013, as an analyst and assistant.[1]
After working with Hélio dos Anjos at Atlético Goianiense, Porto joined Dorival Júnior's staff at Santos in November 2015, as an analyst.[2] He subsequently worked in the same role with Dorival at São Paulo, Flamengo and Athletico Paranaense.[3]
On 23 December 2020, Porto returned to Fortaleza as a permanent assistant manager of the club.[4] In April 2021, after the dismissal of Enderson Moreira, he was named interim manager.[5]
Porto's first match in charge of the Leão occurred on 1 May 2021, a 4–1 Campeonato Cearense home success over Caucaia.[6] He returned to his previous role three days later, after the appointment of Juan Pablo Vojvoda.
After the departure of Leandro Zago, Porto became the head coach of the under-20 team in May 2023, while still an assistant of the main squad.
