Carlos Amadeu Nascimento Lemos (born 6 September 1965), known as Carlos Amadeu, is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a left back, and is a manager.

Playing career

Born in Salvador, Bahia, Amadeu joined Bahia's youth setup in 1983. He was definitely promoted to the main squad in 1985, after already being a part of the team who won the Campeonato Baiano in the previous year.

In 1987, after two seasons as a senior, Amadeu moved to Galícia. After impressing during his spell at the side, he returned to Bahia and was a part of the 1988 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A squad which lifted the trophy. In October 1988, however, he suffered a compound fracture in his arm which led to three surgeries, and after a year without playing, he retired.

Managerial career

Amadeu started his coaching career at Vitória in 1991, as a fitness coach of the under-20s. He subsequently managed the under-17 and under-20 squads in the following years, but in 1996 left to work in futsal.

Amadeu returned to Bahia in 2000, being in charge of the youth squads until early 2005, when he became Hélio dos Anjos' assistant manager of the main squad. On 18 April of that year, after dos Anjos was dismissed, he took over the first team in an interim manner; he also took the role in two more occasions, after the departures of Jair Picerni and Procópio Cardoso.

In 2009 Amadeu returned to Vitória, being in charge of the under-20s. In May 2014, he was the interim manager of the first team for one match, and in December of that year, he became an assistant of the main squad. In May 2015, he was appointed manager of the Brazil national under-17 team.

On 24 January 2018, after winning the 2017 South American U-17 Championship, Amadeu was confirmed as manager of the under-20 national team. On 22 February of the following year, he left the post.

On 5 August 2019, Amadeu rejoined Vitória for a third spell, now appointed first team manager. On 18 September, after only nine matches in charge, he was sacked.
