Jair Zaksauskas Ribeiro Ventura (born 19 March 1979) is a Brazilian professional football coach and former player who played as a forward. He is the current head coach of Goiás.
Besides Brazil, Ventura has played in France, Greece, and Gabon.[2]
Playing career
[edit]Born in Rio de Janeiro, Ventura was a forward during his playing days, representing São Cristóvão, Bonsucesso, Bangu, Mulhouse and Mesquita, aside from teams in Greece and Gabon.[3] He retired at the age of 26, and subsequently had spells at America-RJ and Madureira.[4]
Coaching career
[edit]Botafogo
[edit]Ventura joined Botafogo in 2008, also as a fitness trainer.[5] The following year, he was appointed assistant coach by Ney Franco, and remained with the role in the following campaigns.[1]
Ventura took over the first team as an interim on 27 January 2010, in a 2–1 Campeonato Carioca away win against Tigres do Brasil.[6] He returned to his previous role as an assistant after the arrival of Joel Santana, and also managed the under-20 squad for two years before being dismissed by Bota in 2013.[1]
Ventura returned to Botafogo in 2015, after a short spell at CSA.[4] On 13 August 2016, he was definitely appointed as first team coach, replacing São Paulo-bound Ricardo Gomes.[7]
On 19 December 2016, Ventura renewed his contract until the end of 2018, after qualifying Botafogo to the ensuing Copa Libertadores.[8] In that tournament, he took the club to the quarterfinals, being knocked out by eventual champions Grêmio.
Santos
[edit]On 22 December 2017, Ventura announced to Botafogo's board that he accepted the offer of league rivals Santos.[9] The following 3 January, he was officially announced by the club.[10]
On 23 July 2018, after a 0–0 away draw against Chapecoense and with Peixe threatened with relegation, Ventura was relieved from his duties.[11]
Corinthians
[edit]On 6 September 2018, Ventura was announced head coach of Santos' rivals Corinthians, replacing demoted Osmar Loss.[12] He was sacked on 3 December, with the club only avoiding relegation.
Sport Recife
[edit]On 24 August 2020, after more than a year without a club, Ventura replaced Daniel Paulista at the helm of Sport Recife, still in the top tier.[13] He managed to avoid relegation with the club, but was sacked on 5 April 2021 after being knocked out of the 2021 Copa do Brasil and 2021 Copa do Nordeste.[14]
Chapecoense
[edit]On 31 May 2021, Ventura was named head coach of Chapecoense, replacing sacked Mozart.[15] On 2 August, after 14 winless matches and with the club in the last place, he was himself dismissed.[16]
Juventude
[edit]On 19 October 2021, Ventura replaced sacked Marquinhos Santos ahead of Juventude, his third Série A team in the year.[17] He managed to avoid relegation with the club, but was sacked on 11 February 2022 after a poor start of the new season.[18]
Goiás
[edit]On 14 April 2022, Ventura was named head coach of Goiás also in the top tier.[19] On 13 November, after qualifying the club to the 2023 Copa Sudamericana, he left.[20]
Atlético Goianiense
[edit]On 24 July 2023, Ventura took over Atlético Goianiense in the Série B,[21] and led the club to a promotion in the last round. He won the 2024 Campeonato Goiano, but was sacked on 21 June of that year.[22]
Juventude return
