'''Paulo César Lopes de Gusmão''' (born 19 May 1962), known as '''PC Gusmão''', is a [[Association football|football]] [[Coach (sport)|coach]] and former player who played as a [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]].

==Playing career==
Born in [[Rio de Janeiro]], Gusmão started his career playing for [[CR Vasco da Gama|Vasco da Gama]]. He subsequently represented [[Campo Grande Atlético Clube|Campo Grande]], [[Associação Desportiva Cabofriense|Cabofriense]] and [[Pouso Alegre Futebol Clube|Pouso Alegre]] before returning to Campo Grande in 1991 and retiring shortly after.

==Coaching career==
After retiring, Gusmão returned to his first club Vasco in 1992, as a goalkeeping coach. He continued to work under that role in the following years, with [[Fluminense FC|Fluminense]] (1995), [[CR Flamengo|Flamengo]] (1996), [[Santos FC|Santos]] (1997) and [[Sport Club Corinthians Paulista|Corinthians]] (1998).

In 1999, after the appointment of [[Oswaldo de Oliveira]] as the head coach of ''Timão'', Gusmão was invited to become his assistant. He followed Oswaldo to Vasco in the following year, being also an interim head coach of the club in 2001 after the departure of [[Hélio dos Anjos]].

In August 2002, Gusmão was an interim head coach of [[Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras|Palmeiras]], after [[Vanderlei Luxemburgo]] left for [[Cruzeiro Esporte Clube|Cruzeiro]]. He was in charge of the club for just one match before returning to his previous role, and moved to the latter club in 2003, as Luxemburgo's assistant.

Gusmão's first permanent job as a head coach came in February 2004, after Luxemburgo left Cruzeiro. Despite winning the year's [[Campeonato Mineiro]], he was sacked on 16 May,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.estadao.com.br/esportes/futebol/pc-e-dispensado-leao-deve-assumir-cruzeiro/|title=PC é dispensado; Leão deve assumir Cruzeiro|trans-title=PC is sacked; Leão may take over Cruzeiro|publisher=[[O Estado de S.
