Career

Early career

Born in São Paulo, Seabra began his career as an assistant coach of Assisense in 2006. He later worked at Grêmio Barueri under the same role, before taking over the youth sides of PAEC and Red Bull Brasil.

On 8 June 2013, Seabra was named head coach of RB for the year's Copa Paulista.[1] He later worked in the staff of other clubs in his native state, before becoming a development analyst at Ceará in January 2015.[2]

Between 2016 and 2017, Seabra was a coordinator of Santos' B-team, being dismissed in April 2017.[3] Later in that year, he joined Corinthians as a youth coordinator, being later an assistant of Eduardo Barroca in the under-20 team.

In February 2020, Seabra left Timão to join Athletico Paranaense as an under-17 coach.[4] He moved to Desportivo Brasil in the following year, being initially an under-20 coach before taking over the main squad on 14 December 2021.[5]

On 28 February 2022, Seabra left DB on a mutual agreement.[6] and was announced as an under-20 coach of Cruzeiro on 8 March.[7] On 29 August 2023, he was named interim head coach of the first team, replacing sacked Pepa.[8]

Seabra coached the Raposa in a 0–0 home draw against Red Bull Bragantino on 3 September 2023, and returned to his former role two days later after the appointment of Zé Ricardo. In November, he was Paulo Autuori's assistant in the last rounds of the season.[9]

On 30 January 2024, Seabra was announced as Red Bull Bragantino II head coach.[10]

Cruzeiro

On 9 April 2024, Seabra returned to Cruzeiro, now being named head coach of the main squad.[11] He remained in charge after the club's change of ownership, but was criticized by new owner Pedro Lourenço in July 2024 in a leaked audio.

Seabra was sacked on 23 September 2024, after a 0–0 home draw against Cuiabá,[12]

Red Bull Bragantino

Seabra returned to Bragantino on 31 October 2024, now as head coach of the main squad.[13] He managed to avoid relegation in the last round, and remained in charge for the 2025 season.

On 27 October 2025, Seabra was dismissed by Bragantino after a poor run of form.[14]

Coritiba

On 8 December, Seabra was announced as head coach of Coritiba.[15]
