Eduardo Maciel de Barros (born 8 March 1985) is a Brazilian football coach and former player who played as a midfielder. He is the current head coach of Amazonas.

Career

Born in Campinas, São Paulo, Barros began his career with Paulínia, working from the under-11s to the under-19s before moving to Novorizontino in 2012.[1] He then worked at Atlético Paranaense's under-13 squad and Coritiba's under-19s before being appointed Fernando Diniz's assistant at Audax on 9 December 2015.[2]

Barros continued to work with Diniz in the following years, being his assistant at Oeste, Audax and Atlético.[3] In June 2018, as Diniz was sacked, Barros remained at Atlético, being named Kelly's assistant at the under-23 side. The following 8 March, however, he was appointed coach of the under-19s.[4]

On 5 November 2019, Barros was named interim coach of the main squad in the Série A, after the departure of Tiago Nunes.[5] His first professional match occurred the following day, a 0–0 home draw against Cruzeiro.

On 4 December 2019, Barros was confirmed as coach of the under-23s for the ensuing Campeonato Paranaense.[6] He returned to an interim status after the dismissal of Dorival Júnior, but was released by the club on 22 October 2020.[7]

On 4 February 2021, Barros was named Marquinhos Santos' assistant at Juventude, newly promoted to the top tier.[8] In 2022, he rejoined Diniz's staff at Fluminense, and subsequently worked as his assistant at the Brazil national team and Cruzeiro.
