Born in São Paulo, Guanaes played for Palmeiras, Corinthians and Nacional-SP as a youth.[1] He also played for the Campbell University's soccer team during the 1999 and 2000 campaigns,[2] Nacional and Joseense.

Guanaes was sacked by União on 9 September 2014,[5] but took over São Carlos on 2 December, for the ensuing campaign.[6] He won the Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão in the following year with the club, but left in November 2016 as his contract expired.[7]

On 18 November 2016, Guanaes was appointed Monte Azul manager.[8] He took over Votuporanguense on 29 September of the following year,[9] and won the 2018 Copa Paulista with the latter club.

On 2 January 2019, Guanaes was named manager of Athletico Paranaense's under-23 side.[10] He won the 2019 Campeonato Paranaense with the club, and later went on to work also with the under-20s.[11]

On 5 February 2021, Guanaes left Athletico to take over Série B side Sampaio Corrêa.[12] Dismissed on 22 April,[13] he replaced Bruno Pivetti at the helm of Tombense four days later.[14]

Guanaes led Tombense to their first-ever promotion to the Série B, but was sacked on 22 February 2022, with the club threatened with relegation in the 2022 Campeonato Mineiro.[15] He then worked for a short period as a permanent assistant manager at Cruzeiro before taking over second division side Novorizontino on 21 June.[16]
