Eduardo Baptista

On 15 August 2018, Baptista returned to Sport, replacing Claudinei Oliveira and joining the club four months after his father Nelsinho left the very same role.

On 4 May 2017, Baptista was relieved from his duties at Verdão. He was named Atlético Paranaense manager on 23 May, but was sacked nonetheless on 10 July.

On 20 September 2017, Baptista returned to Ponte. Dismissed the following 9 March, he took over Coritiba on 16 April 2018, but was sacked from the latter club on 10 August.

Baptista took Ponte to an impressive eighth place in the league, only four points shy of qualifying for the continental championship. On 2 December 2016 he resigned, and signed a one-year contract with Palmeiras fourteen days later.

On 17 September 2015, Baptista left Sport and was appointed at Fluminense, replacing fired Enderson Moreira. On 25 February 2016, after only two wins in six matches, he was sacked by Flu. On 15 April, he replaced Alexandre Gallo at Ponte Preta's reign.

On 31 January 2014 Baptista was appointed interim manager, replacing fired Geninho. On 14 February he was definitely appointed as manager, and led the side to both Campeonato Pernambucano and Copa do Nordeste winning campaigns.

In 2002, after spells at clubs in his native state, Baptista joined his father's staff at Goiás, as a fitness coach. The duo remained together for the following nine years, only splitting due to the Japanese tsunami in 2011, when both were at Kashiwa Reysol; Eduardo subsequently returned to Sport (club which he already worked from 2007 to 2009) while Nelsinho remained at Kashiwa.
