Managerial career edit

After being seven years in Atlético Paranaense's staff, Eutrópio moved to Fluminense as a part of Carlos Alberto Parreira's team. On 13 November 2008 he left the latter, being appointed manager of Ituano.[1]

Eutrópio returned to Flu in March 2009 as Parreira's assistant,[2] being named manager on 13 July.[3] After leaving the club just months later, he was appointed at the helm of Grêmio Barueri on 16 December.[4]

After finishing third in 2010 Campeonato Paulista, Eutrópio was again appointed Parreira's assistant, now with South Africa. After the year's FIFA World Cup he joined G.D. Estoril Praia, being sacked by the latter on 27 September 2011.[5]

In 2012 Eutrópio returned to Barueri, being relieved from his duties on 4 June.[6] In August he was appointed at Duque de Caxias,[7] leaving the club in November to manage América Mineiro.[8]

On 19 August 2013, after a brief stint at ASA in March,[9] Eutrópio was appointed Figueirense manager.[10] Despite achieving promotion to Série A at the end of the campaign and winning 2014 Campeonato Catarinense, he was dismissed on 30 April 2014.[11]

On 2 June 2014 Eutrópio moved to Al-Ittihad Kalba SC,[12] leaving the club on 20 October.[13] On 11 December he was appointed at Chapecoense.[14]

This was followed by spells at Ponte Preta and Figueirense, leaving the latter in July 2016. He joined Santa Cruz in December 2016.[15]

Eutrópio returned to Chapecoense on 6 July 2017. He resigned in September 2017.[16]

Eutrópio joined Bolívar in January 2018.[17] He left the club in June 2018 after a poor run of results.[18]
