Adir Blazio Kist (born 21 March 1972), is a Brazilian football coach and former player who played as a goalkeeper.

Playing career

Born in Ipumirim, Santa Catarina, Kist began his career with Juventude.[1] After representing Ariquemes, Lajeadense, Guarany de Garibaldi [pt], Brasil de Farroupilha, São José-RS, Porto-PE and Náutico,[2] he moved abroad in 1999, and joined Portuguese Segunda Liga side Santa Clara.

Kist continued to feature in the Portuguese second level in the following years, playing for Felgueiras, Penafiel and Maia.[3] He returned to his home country in April 2004 with Londrina,[4] but left the club in June, after the departure of head coach Caio Júnior.[5]

Kist subsequently moved to Cianorte, and later represented Farroupilha, Rio Branco-SP[6] and Garibaldi before returning to Cianorte for the 2008 season. He retired with the side shortly after, aged 36.

Post-playing career

After retiring, Kist became an executive director of his last club Cianorte.[7] On 24 June 2023, he left the side after 15 years, and became Paulo Turra's assistant at Santos.[8]
