Rafael Silva Guanaes (born 27 March 1981) is a Brazilian football coach and former player who played as a midfielder. He is the current head coach of Mirassol.
Career
[edit]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.
On 16 June 2010, Guanaes was named head coach of Joseense for the remainder of the year, replacing sacked Ricardo Longhi,[3] but only lasted two matches (two defeats) before Longhi asked to return to the role, and he subsequently became a director of football.[4] He returned to coaching duties ahead of the 2011 season, and achieved promotion to Campeonato Paulista Série A3 with the club in 2012 before being appointed in charge of União São João on 6 August 2014.[5]
Guanaes was sacked by União on 9 September 2014,[6] but took over São Carlos on 2 December, for the ensuing campaign.[7] He won the Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão in the following year with the club, but left in November 2016 as his contract expired.[8]
On 18 November 2016, Guanaes was appointed Monte Azul head coach.[9] He took over Votuporanguense on 29 September of the following year,[10] 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.[11] He won the 2019 Campeonato Paranaense with the club, and later went on to work also with the under-20s.[12]
On 5 February 2021, Guanaes left Athletico to take over Série B side Sampaio Corrêa.[13] Dismissed on 22 April,[14] he replaced Bruno Pivetti at the helm of Tombense four days later.[15]
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.[16] He then worked for a short period as a permanent assistant manager at Cruzeiro before taking over second division side Novorizontino on 21 June.[17]
On 3 September 2022, Guanaes was sacked by Novorizontino.[18] On 1 November, he was announced as manager of Operário Ferroviário, recently relegated to the third level, for the upcoming season.[19]
Guanaes led the Fantasma to a promotion to the second division in his first season, but announced his departure from the club at the end of the year on 18 November 2024.[20] On 2 December, he was named Atlético Goianiense head coach for the upcoming season,[21] but was sacked on 2 March 2025.[22]
On 13 March 2025, Guanaes was named head coach of Série A newcomers Mirassol.[23]
