Luiz Antonio Venker Menezes or simply Mano Menezes born June 12, 1965, in Santa Cruz do Sul, Brazil is the current coach of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista. He has been in charge of Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense since 2005 a remarkably long time for a coach in Brazilian football. He led them to promotion in 2005 and followed that up with a respectable third place finish in the 2006 Brasileiro. In 2007, he took Grêmio to the final of the Copa Libertadores. At the end of the 07 season, he took Corinthians and started the 08 season with a 3-0 win over Guarani.
