'''Levir Culpi''' (born 28 February 1953) is a Brazilian professional [[Association football|football]] [[Coach (sport)|coach]] and former player who played as a [[centre-back]].

==Playing career==
Known as '''Levir''' during his playing days, he was born in [[Curitiba]], [[Paraná (state)|Paraná]], and started his career with hometown club [[Coritiba Foot Ball Club|Coritiba]], in 1972. After spending a six-month loan deal at [[Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas|Botafogo]] the following year, he signed for [[Santa Cruz Futebol Clube|Santa Cruz]] in 1974.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tardesdepacaembu.wordpress.com/2016/07/14/levir-culpi-um-negocio-da-china-para-o-santa-cruz/|title=Levir Culpi… um "negócio da China" para o Santa Cruz|trans-title=Levir Culpi... a "big business" for Santa Cruz|publisher=Tardes de Pacaembu|language=pt|date=14 July 2016|access-date=6 June 2017}}</ref>

Levir subsequently represented [[Colorado Esporte Clube|Colorado]] (two stints), [[Atlante F.C.|Atlante]], [[Vila Nova Futebol Clube|Vila Nova]], [[Figueirense Futebol Clube|Figueirense]] and [[Esporte Clube Juventude|Juventude]], retiring with the latter in 1985.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://terceirotempo.bol.uol.com.br/que-fim-levou/levir-culpi-2713|title=Levir Culpi|publisher=Terceiro Tempo|language=pt|access-date=6 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://hojeemdia.com.br/esportes/atl%C3%A9tico/levir-volta-ao-est%C3%A1dio-35-anos-ap%C3%B3s-%C3%BAnico-gol-marcado-no-m%C3%A9xico-1.302701|title=Levir volta ao estádio 35 anos após único gol marcado no México|trans-title=Levir returns to the stadium 35 years after only goal scored in Mexico|publisher=Hoje em Dia|language=pt|date=14 April 2015|access-date=6 June 2017}}</ref>

==Coaching career==
Immediately after retiring Culpi took up coaching, starting with his last club Juventude. After a stint at [[Sociedade Esportiva e Recreativa Caxias do Sul|Caxias]] he was named [[Clube Atlético Paranaense|Atlético Paranaense]] head coach in 1986, but left the club in the following year.

After a period in charge of [[Clube Náutico Marcílio Dias|Marcílio Dias]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://zh.clicrbs.com.br/rs/esportes/noticia/2008/07/o-mito-do-busto-secador-no-marcilio-dias-2019597.html|title=O mito do busto secador no Marcílio Dias|trans-title=The myth of the willing bust in Marcílio Dias|publisher=Zero Hora|language=pt|date=2 July 2008|access-date=6 June 2017}}</ref> Culpi took [[Associação Atlética Internacional (Limeira)|Internacional de Limeira]] to their second national title, a [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série B]] in [[1988 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B|1988]]. He subsequently managed [[Criciúma Esporte Clube|Criciúma]], [[Sport Club Internacional|Internacional]] and [[Coritiba Foot Ball Club|Coritiba]] before returning to Criciúma in 1992 and taking the club to the quarterfinals of the [[1992 Copa Libertadores]] (being knocked out by eventual champions [[São Paulo FC|São Paulo]]).

In the following years Culpi rarely settled into a club, being in charge of [[Al-Ittifaq]], [[Paraná Clube]], [[Guarani Futebol Clube|Guarani]], [[Clube Atlético Mineiro|Atlético Mineiro]], [[Associação Portuguesa de Desportos|Portuguesa]] and [[Cruzeiro Esporte Clube|Cruzeiro]] before moving abroad to manage [[Cerezo Osaka]] in 1997. He returned to Cruzeiro in 1998, notably winning [[1998 Recopa Sudamericana|the year]]'s [[Recopa Sudamericana]] with a 5–0 aggregate success over [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]].

In January 2000 Culpi took over São Paulo, but was sacked in November. After spells at [[Sport Club do Recife|Sport]] and Atlético Mineiro in 2001, he replaced [[Flávio Murtosa]] at the helm of [[Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras|Palmeiras]] on 3 September 2002,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/esporte/ult92u47459.shtml|title=Palmeiras acerta com o técnico Levir Culpi|trans-title=Palmeiras sign manager Levir Culpi|publisher=[[Folha de S.Paulo]]|language=pt|date=3 September 2002|access-date=6 June 2017}}</ref> but could not avoid the club's [[2002 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|first-ever relegation from the top tier]].

In December 2002 Culpi was appointed head coach of [[Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas|Botafogo]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/esporte/ult92u53096.shtml|title=Levir Culpi deve assumir o Botafogo|trans-title=Levir Culpi may take over Botafogo|publisher=Folha de S. Paulo|language=pt|date=25 December 2002|access-date=6 June 2017}}</ref> taking the club back to the main category after [[2003 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B|finishing second]]. On 27 April 2004 he returned to Atlético Paranaense, after resigning with ''Bota''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://esportes.estadao.com.br/noticias/futebol,levir-culpi-e-o-novo-tecnico-do-atletico-pr,20040427p44378|title=Levir Culpi é o novo técnico do Atlético-PR|trans-title=Levir Culpi is the new manager of Atlético-PR|publisher=[[O Estado de S. Paulo]]|language=pt|date=27 April 2004|access-date=6 June 2017}}</ref>

Culpi again managed Cruzeiro during the 2005 campaign, but was relieved from his duties in July of that year. He subsequently managed [[Associação Desportiva São Caetano|São Caetano]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.gazetadigital.com.br/conteudo/show/secao/21/og/1/materia/84026/t/cruzeiro-e-sao-caetano-e-o-reencontro-para-levir|title=Cruzeiro e São Caetano é o reencontro para Levir|trans-title=Cruzeiro and São Caetano is the reencounter for Levir|publisher=Gazeta Digital|language=pt|date=20 August 2005|access-date=6 June 2017}}</ref> before achieving [[2006 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B|another promotion]] with Atlético Mineiro in 2006.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://esportes.terra.com.br/futebol/brasileiro2006/interna/0,,OI1025875-EI6569,00-Levir+Culpi+e+o+novo+tecnico+do+AtleticoMG.html|title=Levir Culpi é o novo técnico do Atlético-MG|trans-title=Levir Culpi is the new manager of Atlético-MG|publisher=Terra|language=pt|date=28 May 2006|access-date=6 June 2017}}</ref>

In May 2007, [[J. League Division 2]] side [[Cerezo Osaka]] sacked [[Satoshi Tsunami]] and appointed Culpi as head coach. During his spell in charge of the team, he discovered [[Shinji Kagawa]], who then played as a defensive midfielder, and used him as an attacking midfielder. Kagawa combined well with [[Takashi Inui]], another talented young player, and the team under Culpi were promoted to the [[J. League Division 1]] in 2010. He continued to display his ability to develop young players and construct an attacking team. With such players as Kagawa, Inui, [[Akihiro Ienaga]], [[Hiroshi Kiyotake]], [[Adriano Ferreira Martins|Adriano]], and [[Luís Fernando Martinez|Martinez]], the team finished 3rd in 2010 and qualified for the [[AFC Champions League]].

In November 2011, Culpi decided not to extend his contract, saying "I've come to the conclusion that now is the time to return to the far distant Brazil and spend time with my family."<ref>[http://www.cerezo.co.jp/news_detail.asp?c_idx=10006680&contents_code=100100100 "レヴィー・クルピ監督との契約について"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120608201724/http://www.cerezo.co.jp/news_detail.asp?c_idx=10006680&contents_code=100100100 |date=8 June 2012 }} (in Japanese)</ref> The following 26 August, however, he returned to the club after replacing compatriot [[Sérgio Soares]].<ref>[http://www.cerezo.co.jp/news_detail.asp?c_idx=10008597 「監督交代のお知らせ」] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004213333/http://www.cerezo.co.jp/news_detail.asp?c_idx=10008597 |date=4 October 2013 }} (in Japanese)</ref>
