José Ricardo Mannarino (born 5 June 1971), known as Zé Ricardo, is a Brazilian professional football coach and former player. He is the current head coach of Criciúma.

Career

Early career

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Zé Ricardo represented São Cristóvão and Olaria as a youth, but retired at early age. He subsequently appeared professionally in futsal, but retired at the age of 25.

In 1992, aged only 21, Zé Ricardo was appointed manager of futsal club Vila Isabel. He subsequently went on to manage Vasco da Gama and Botafogo in the 1990s, and also took charge of adult teams in Italy.[1]

Zé Ricardo arrived at Flamengo in 1998, still in futsal. In 2005, he moved to football, being initially in charge of the youth categories.

In 2008 Zé Ricardo left Fla and was appointed manager of Audax Rio.[2] He returned to the former in 2012, being crowned champions of multiple tournaments with the under-18s and under-20s.[3]

Flamengo

On 26 May 2016, Zé Ricardo was appointed as caretaker of the first team, after Muricy Ramalho resigned due to health problems.[4] His first professional match in charge occurred on 29 May 2016, a 2–1 Série A away win against Ponte Preta.[5]

Zé Ricardo was appointed as permanent first team manager on 14 July 2016.[6] On 6 August of the following year, he was sacked after winning only a single match in eight.[7][8]

Vasco da Gama

On 22 August 2017, just two weeks after departing Flamengo, Zé Ricardo took charge of fellow state club Vasco da Gama.[9] He took the club to a seventh position in the season, thus qualifying for the 2018 Copa Libertadores.

On 2 June of the following year, Zé Ricardo resigned.[10]

Botafogo

On 4 August 2018, Zé Ricardo was appointed manager of Botafogo still in his native state, in the place of fired Marcos Paquetá.[11] On 12 April 2019, after being knocked out of the year's Copa do Brasil by Série C side Juventude, he was sacked.

Fortaleza

On 12 August 2019, Zé Ricardo replaced Rogério Ceni at the helm of Fortaleza, still in the first division.[12] On 27 September, however, he was relieved from his duties,[13] with Ceni subsequently taking his place.

Internacional

On 21 October 2019, Zé Ricardo was announced as manager of Internacional until the end of the year.[14]

Qatar SC

After leaving Internacional, Zé Ricardo spent a year in Italy studying, and was appointed manager of Qatar SC on 14 June 2021.[15] On 29 September, after only five matches, he was sacked.[16]

Vasco da Gama return

On 4 December 2021, Zé Ricardo returned to Vasco da Gama after being named manager of the club for the 2022 campaign.[17] On 5 June 2022, he resigned.[18]

Shimizu S-Pulse

Following the dismissal of Hiroaki Hiraoka in the middle of the 2022 J1 League season, Zé Ricardo was appointed manager of Shimizu S-Pulse.[19] However, he was unable to help them survive in the top flight and they were relegated to the J2 League.

Shimizu also started the 2023 season very poorly, winning none of their first seven games, scoring only four goals in the process. On 3 April 2023, it was announced that Zé Ricardo's contract with the club had been mutually terminated.[20]

Cruzeiro

On 5 September 2023, Zé Ricardo returned to his home country, after being announced at Cruzeiro in the top tier.[21] He was dismissed on 12 November, with the club in the relegation zone.[22]

Goiás

On 25 December 2023, Zé Ricardo was named head coach of Goiás for the upcoming season.[23] He left on a mutual agreement on 25 March 2024, after being knocked out of the 2024 Copa Verde.[24]

Criciúma

On 18 December 2024, Zé Ricardo was appointed Criciúma head coach.[25]
