Valdeir "Badú" Vieira (born 11 July 1944 in Marília, São Paulo) is a Brazilian football manager.

Career

Playing career

Like many Brazilian players in the 1960s, Badu was discovered in the ever-expanding futsal scene. It is from the indoors that Vieira gets his nickname "Badu", which describes a specific way of scoring a goal. He signed his first contract as a professional with the 2nd division Dracena F.C. at age 17. Two years later he played as attacker in the 1st division with CE Aymoré – São Leopoldo, where Luiz Felipe Scolari was just starting his career as a defender in the youth team. Badu was later the first Brazilian to play respectively for the clubs: Central Español (Uruguay), Hibernians F.C. (Malta) and Croissant Club Sigois (Algeria). Plagued by injuries and more interested in studying the sciences of sports, he finished his career playing non-league football in Germany.

Coaching career

Badu has managed several clubs and national football teams. He managed Costa Rica during 1996[1] and Oman from 1998 to 1999.[2] He managed Iran during their successful qualification for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.[3] On 28 December 2013, Vieira signed with Japan's J2 League side Kyoto Sanga FC, which he managed until 18 June 2014.
