'''Renato Portaluppi''' (born 9 September 1962), known as '''Renato Gaúcho''', is a Brazilian professional [[Association football|football]] [[Coach (sport)|coach]] and former player. He is the current head coach of [[Fluminense FC|Fluminense]].

Formerly a [[Forward (association football)#Winger|right winger]], Renato is known for his wins at the [[Intercontinental Cup (1960–2004)|Intercontinental Cup]] in 1983 as a player for [[Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense|Grêmio]], his two [[Copa Libertadores]] one as [[Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense|Grêmio]] player in 1983 and one in 2017 as [[Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense|Grêmio]] coach, his 1989 [[Copa América]] as player for [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], and mainly being known for "Rei Do Rio" (King of Rio de Janeiro). When in the heat of Brazilian national soccer, he won the [[:pt:Campeonato Carioca de Futebol de 1995|Campeonato Carioca of 1995]] and won the prize given by the press for being the MVP in the championship and giving the title to [[Fluminense FC|Fluminense]] when beating some of the best Brazilian players of all time, [[Romário]] ([[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]]), [[Túlio Maravilha]] ([[Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas|Botafogo]]), [[Valdir Bigode]] ([[CR Vasco da Gama|Vasco]]).

== Playing career ==
=== Club ===
Born in [[Guaporé, Rio Grande do Sul]], Renato started his career in [[Clube Esportivo Bento Gonçalves|Esportivo]] in [[Bento Gonçalves, Rio Grande do Sul|Bento Gonçalves]] where he grew up. He was later signed with [[Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense|Grêmio]], where in 1983 he won the [[Copa Libertadores]], beating [[Peñarol]] of Uruguay, and the [[Intercontinental Cup (1960–2004)|Intercontinental Cup]], beating [[Hamburger SV]] of Germany, and scoring twice, this way consolidating [[Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense|Grêmio]] as one of the giants of Brazilian soccer, when they won their first and only world title.<ref name="gremio1983">{{cite web|url=http://www.museudosesportes.com.br/noticia.php?id=4560|title=Meu jogo inesquecível – Renato Gaúcho|publisher=Museu dos Esportes|access-date=January 6, 2009|language=pt|archive-date=July 20, 2003|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030720140744/http://www.museudosesportes.com.br/noticia.php?id=4560|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 1987, he moved to [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]] and won the [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|Brasileirão Série A]] in the same year. Then, in 1988, Renato moved abroad, signing with [[A.S. Roma|Roma]]. However, he failed to settle in Italy and returned to Flamengo after one disappointing season, in time to win one more trophy, the [[Copa do Brasil]] in 1990.

Renato's career in [[Fluminense FC|Fluminense]] is generally associated with his belly goal in the [[Campeonato Carioca]] of 1995, against [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]], in the year that Flamengo celebrated 100 years. With his goal, he was crowned the "King of Rio" of the year. In the same year, he led Fluminense to the semi-finals of the Brasileirão Série A.

Before his retirement in [[Bangu AC|Bangu]], he played again for Flamengo, where with all his four passages total he played 210 games, scoring 64 goals for the red and black team.

=== International ===
Renato appeared 41 times for the [[Brazil national football team|Brazil national team]], scoring five goals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.national-football-teams.com/player/17969/Renato_Gaucho.html|title=Renato Gaúcho (Player)|first=Benjamin|last=Strack-Zimmermann|website=www.national-football-teams.com|accessdate=August 12, 2023}}</ref>

In 1986, while preparing for the FIFA World Cup Finals in Mexico, Renato was dropped from the squad by coach [[Telê Santana]] for disciplinary reasons when he and his friend, who also played at Brazil's national team [[José Leandro Ferreira|Leandro]] got in the hotel after the scheduled time. Renato was remembered for being a loyal friend when it happened because he could jump through the hotel wall and get in unnoticed. But when his friend couldn't, he walked through the main door with him. Leandro was an essential and irreplaceable player, so he still got called for the finals, and Renato didn't. But to return his loyalty to Renato, Leandro said he wouldn't play if Renato weren't accepted. Renato wasn't recalled, and then Leandro made his word true and quit the selection. Leandro's replacement at right-back was Edson, who was injured in the second World Cup match and was then replaced by the relatively unknown [[Josimar (footballer, born 1961)|Josimar]] of Botafogo, who became one of the stars of the tournament.

== Managerial career ==
=== Early years ===
In 1996, while recovering from a knee injury, Renato was an interim manager of Fluminense on two occasions. As the club struggled to remain outside the relegation zone, Renato "promised to walk naked in the [[Ipanema beach]]" if the club suffered relegation, which did occur after they finished in the penultimate place; however, a match-fixing scandal canceled the relegations shortly after, which kept Fluminense in the first division.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/times/fluminense/noticia/2013/12/lista-lembra-momentos-marcantes-de-renato-gaucho-como-tecnico-do-flu.html|title=Lista lembra momentos marcantes de Renato Gaúcho como técnico do Flu|trans-title=List remembers remarkable moments of Renato Gaúcho as manager of ''Flu''|publisher=GloboEsporte.com|language=pt-BR|date=26 February 2013|accessdate=1 May 2021}}</ref>

On 10 August 2008, Renato was sacked as manager of ''Flu'', following a 2–1 defeat to the Brasileirão's bottom side, [[Ipatinga Futebol Clube|Ipatinga]] which left them joint-bottom of the table.<ref name="sackedfluminense2008">{{cite web|url=http://oglobo.globo.com/esportes/brasileiro2008/mat/2008/08/11/renato_gaucho_nao_mais_tecnico_do_fluminense-547671659.asp|title=Renato Gaúcho não é mais o técnico do Fluminense|work=O Globo Online|access-date=August 11, 2008|date=August 11, 2008|language=pt|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080814120112/http://oglobo.globo.com/esportes/brasileiro2008/mat/2008/08/11/renato_gaucho_nao_mais_tecnico_do_fluminense-547671659.asp|archive-date=August 14, 2008|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

=== Fourth spell at Fluminense ===
Fluminense reappointed Renato on 21 July 2009 to replace [[Carlos Alberto Parreira]]. Renato returned for a fourth stint, having already coached Fluminense twice (in 2002–2003, 2003 and again in 2007–2008).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.estadao.com.br/noticias/esportes,fluminense-acerta-o-retorno-de-renato-gaucho,405666,0.htm|title=Fluminense acerta o retorno de Renato Gaúcho|accessdate=August 12, 2023}}</ref> On 1 September 2009, Fluminense dismissed him following a series of poor results.

=== Bahia ===
On 13 December 2009, Renato was named manager of [[Esporte Clube Bahia|Bahia]] for the 2010 season, in the place of [[Paulo Bonamigo]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.futebolbahiano.com/2009/12/oficialmente-renato-gaucho-e-o.html|title=Futebol Baiano: EC Bahia EC Vitória: Oficialmente Renato Gaúcho é o treinador do Bahia|accessdate=August 12, 2023}}</ref>

=== Grêmio ===
On 10 August 2010, Grêmio confirmed Renato was their new coach, two days after the sacking of their former coach, Silas. He tried to start a good season, but in his debut, the team lost to [[Goiás Esporte Clube|Goiás]] and was eliminated from the [[2010 Copa Sudamericana]] on the Second Stage. In the [[2010 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|2010 Brazilian League]], Grêmio ended in 4th place and consequently qualified to [[2011 Copa Libertadores]]. Afterward, Renato did not have a great season in 2011. His team lost the [[2011 Campeonato Gaúcho]] finals to their rival [[Internacional]] and was the runner-up. Grêmio was also eliminated from the [[2011 Copa Libertadores]] in the Round of 16, losing to Chilean club [[Club Deportivo Universidad Católica|Universidad Católica]]. All of that disappointed himself and Grêmio's President Paulo Odone. He coached some matches of the [[2011 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|2011 Brazilian League]]. However, their performance wasn't good, and Renato resigned on 30 June.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lance.com.br/todos-esportes/renato-gaucho-pede-demissao-gremio.html|title=Renato Gaúcho pede demissão no Grêmio|website=www.lance.com.br|accessdate=August 12, 2023}}</ref>
