Bernardo Franco Júnior (born 26 April 1986) is a Brazilian football coach, currently the head coach of Cuiabá.
Born in Curitiba, Paraná, Franco began his career with Atlético Paranaense's under-15 team in 2018. In the following year, he took over the under-17s and won the 2019 Campeonato Paranaense Sub-17.[1]
Franco was promoted to Athletico's first team in 2020, as an assistant coach.[1] On 4 March 2022, he was announced as head coach of Atlético Mineiro's under-20 team,[2] but left in June to join António Oliveira's staff at Cuiabá, as his assistant; he was also an interim head coach in a 1–0 Série A home win over Corinthians on 7 June, as Oliveira was not registered in time.[3]
In the following years, Franco followed Oliveira to Coritiba,[4] back to Cuiabá[5] and Corinthians,[6] always as his assistant. On 28 August 2024, he returned to the Dourado after being named head coach of the side.[7]
