Jorge Luiz Fernandes Castilho (born 6 April 1982), sometimes known as Buiú, is a Brazilian football coach and former player who played as a centre-back. He is the current head coach of Maringá.
Born and raised in Santa Rosa, a neighborhood in Guarujá, São Paulo,[1] Castilho began his career with local side EC Santa Rosa before moving to América Mineiro after a trial period.[1] He later played for Villa Nova, AD Guarujá (two stints) and Real EC de Caeté before making his senior debut with VOCEM in 2001.[1]
Castilho retired after playing for VOCEM, due to knee injuries.[1] [2]
After retiring, Castilho worked as a vigilant while coaching in a football school in his hometown.[2] In 2011, he became a youth coach at AD Guarujá,[3] being also an interim during the club's last two matches of the Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão.
After leaving Guarujá, Castilho worked with the under-17 side of Portuguesa Santista and as an assistant of the under-20 team of São Vicente before returning to the club in 2014,[2] now as head coach of the main squad.[4] After the club was licensed, he worked as a youth coach in his hometown and also coached a team of the Order of Attorneys of Brazil in the city.[2]
In 2020, Castilho moved to Maringá, initially as an assistant of Beto Portella. On 11 September of that year, he was named head coach of the squad,[5] and led the club to a promotion from the Campeonato Paranaense Série Prata.
After starting the 2021 campaign again as an assistant, Castilho was again named head coach of Dogão on 6 April of that year, replacing sacked Marcos Soares.[6] On 11 November, he renewed his contract for a further year,[7] and led the club to the finals of the 2022 Campeonato Paranaense.
On 19 April 2022, Castilho took over Ipatinga for the year's Campeonato Mineiro Módulo II.[8] He left in August, after also achieving promotion,[9] and returned to Maringá for the upcoming season.
On 1 September 2023, Castilho further extended his link with Maringá until the end of 2024,[10] and also led the side to another final in the 2024 Paranaense.
