Adílio de Oliveira Gonçalves (15 May 1956 – 5 August 2024), usually known simply asAdílio, was a Brazilian professionalfootballer who played as amidfielder. He made two appearances for theBrazil national team.[2]
Born inRio de Janeiro,[2] he was a talented midfielder, who played forFlamengo between 1975 and 1987,[2] during the most glorious years in the history of theGávea club. During those years, he won virtually every competition he played in: theRio State Championship in 1978, 1979 (twice), 1981 and 1986; theBrasileiro Série A in 1980, 1982, 1983 and 1987; the 1981Libertadores Cup (Flamengo's first), and theIntercontinental Cup,[2] when he scored one of the goals of Flamengo's 3–0 victory against England'sLiverpool.[3] Adílio played 181 Série A games for Flamengo, scoring 26 goals, and played 11 Série A games for Coritiba, without scoring a goal.[4]
Adílio also played forCoritiba in 1987 and 1988,Barcelona de Guayaquil of Ecuador, in 1989,Alianza Lima of Peru, in 1991 and 1992, andBorussia Fulda of Germany in 1996, besides some smaller clubs inRio de Janeiro state, likeAmérica de Três Rios in 1994,Barreira in 1995 and in 1996,Friburguense in 1996 andBarra Mansa in 1997.[2] He played forItumbiara in 1991,Santos-ES in 1993, andBacabal andSerrano in 1995.[2]
Having played 611 matches for Flamengo,[5] Adílio is the player with third most appearances for the club.[6]
Adílio played two games for theBrazil national team.[7] The first game was played on 5 July 1979, against aBahia state combined team, while the last game was played on 21 March 1982, againstWest Germany.[7]
After retiring from playing, Adílio began to devote himself to coaching. His first experience was the front of SaudiBahain, soon after, as Brown is affectionately called, took command of theCFZ, his companion of oldZico.
In 2003 the former player accepted an invitation fromFlamengo to take command of the basic categories. Back in his crib, Adilio played an enviable job in front of the red and black boys. In four years in junior, he was champion in Rio, OPG Cup double champion, champion of the Rio-São Paulo and Belo Horizonte Cup, and placed third in the World Cup in Malaysia. Also helped form players of the caliber ofRenato Augusto,Erick Flores,Thiago Sales, and midfielderRômulo.
In this work period at Flamengo, Adilio had one that was perhaps its greatest opportunity in the coaching career when he was driven to take the senior team in 2006. The team that had remained wildly in Série A of 2005, thanks to the good offices ofJoel Santana, had lost its commander and is now coached by Adílio. Experience, however, failed. The team played two matches Adílio and lost to both New Delhi andCabofriense respectively. After this, the former player came back to coach the team base.
In 2008, after spending a season in white, Adilio was passed over the post and gave way toRogério Lourenço.
On 2 August 2024, it was announced that Adílio had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.[8] He died inRio de Janeiro three days later, on 5 August, at the age of 68.[9]
