Gilmar Dal Pozzo

Known as just Gilmar during his playing days, he was born in Quilombo, Santa Catarina, but moved to Santa Izabel do Oeste, Paraná at the age of two. After growing up in Paraí, Rio Grande do Sul, he began his career with Pratense at the age of 18. Gilmar subsequently represented Caxias, Guarany de Garibaldi, Veranópolis and Londrina before moving abroad in 2000, joining Portuguese side Marítimo. He returned to his home country in 2003 with Goiás, but was a third-choice option behind Rodrigo Calaça and Harlei during his spell. After being a regular starter for Veranópolis in the 2004 Campeonato Gaúcho (also scoring in a 2–1 home win over São José-RS on 12 May), Gilmar joined Avaí on 7 June of that year. In January 2006, he moved to Santa Cruz, but signed for Joinville on 18 June. After another spell at Veranópolis in the 2007 Gauchão, Gilmar played for Ulbra and retiring with the club in the end of that year, aged nearly 38.

Immediately after retiring, Dal Pozzo was confirmed as head coach of Veranópolis for the 2008 season. He led Pelotas to the 2008 Copa FGF title, before returning to VEC in February 2009. On 22 March 2010, Dal Pozzo left Veranópolis by mutual consent, and was named Novo Hamburgo head coach on 10 June. Dismissed from the latter in October, he returned to Pelotas in December, but was also sacked on 7 February 2011. Dal Pozzo subsequently returned to Veranópolis in March 2011, but left the side on 11 September 2012 to take over Série C side Chapecoense. He led the club to two consecutive promotions, but was sacked on 23 May 2014, after a bad start in the year's Série A. On 5 September 2014, Dal Pozzo was appointed head coach of Criciúma also in the top tier, but was dismissed on 27 October. He was announced at the helm of ABC in the Série B on 25 May 2015, but was relieved from his duties on 15 July. On 8 September 2015, Dal Pozzo was named in charge of Náutico also in the second division. After narrowly missing out promotion, he was sacked on 27 April of the following year. On 8 June 2016, Dal Pozzo was announced as Dado Cavalcanti's replacement at the helm of Paysandu, still in division two. He only lasted less than two months at the club, being dismissed on 31 July after their seventh consecutive draw. On 28 November 2016, Dal Pozzo was appointed Ceará head coach for the upcoming season, but was sacked the following 16 February, after the club's elimination from the 2017 Copa…
