Anderson Simas Luciano (born 11 April 1976), commonly known as Tcheco, is a Brazilian football coach and former midfielder.

Early life

Born in Curitiba, Paraná, as a child, he tried to mimic the interjection "tchê" from a neighbour but said tcheco instead. His grandmother noticed this and nicknamed him "Tcheco".[1]

Playing career

Tcheco began his career with hometown side Paraná Clube, but never established himself as a regular starter and was briefly loaned to Esportivo in 1998.[1]

Tcheco moved to Malutrom in 2000, becoming a regular starter as they won the Group Green and White of the Copa João Havelange.[1] He joined Coritiba in May 2002, and scored 11 goals in the 2003 season before departing for Saudi club Al-Ittihad in September of that year.[2]

On 8 January 2005, Tcheco returned to his home country after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Santos.[3] He then returned to his parent club, before signing for Grêmio ahead of the 2006 season.

Tcheco returned to Al-Ittihad in December 2007,[4] but was presented back at Grêmio the following 3 June.[5] On 10 December 2009, he was confirmed as an addition of Corinthians for the upcoming campaign,[6] but returned to Coxa on 7 September 2010.[7]

Initially on loan, Tcheco subsequently signed a permanent deal with Coritiba, and retired at the age of 36 in July 2012.[8]

Coaching career

Shortly after retiring, Tcheco became an assistant coach for Coritiba.[9] On 17 November 2013, he was named head coach of the club for the remaining three matches of the season,[10] managing to save them from relegation.

Tcheco was subsequently in charge of the Coxa's under-23 squad and left the club in March 2016 after the team was disbanded.[11] He returned to his first club Paraná in December to work as a football executive,[12] being later also an assistant coach.

On 20 December 2017, Tcheco returned to Coritiba as an assistant.[13] He was again an interim the following April, after Sandro Forner was sacked, before being permanently named head coach of the club on 13 August, in the place of Eduardo Baptista.[14]

Tcheco left Coritiba in November 2018,[15] before being named head coach of Barra-SC the following 12 April.[16] On 24 September 2019, he took over Rio Branco-PR,[17] but was dismissed amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.[18]

On 22 December 2020, Tcheco was appointed FC Cascavel head coach for the upcoming campaign.[19] He left the club by mutual consent on 4 August 2022,[20] before taking over Azuriz on 3 November.[21]

Tcheco left Azuriz on 1 March 2023,[22] and was named at the helm of Caxias on 13 April.[23] He left on 20 June, after just nine matches.[24]

Tcheco returned to Paraná on 16 February 2024, now as head coach of the first team.[25] He left on 5 August after achieving promotion from the Campeonato Paranaense Série Prata as champions[26] to take over Série B side Chapecoense,[27] but was dismissed after just 13 days.[28]
