In May 2008, Oliveira – who was acting as an assistant – was appointed interim manager of Atlético, replacing Geninho.

On 2 June 2015, Oliveira was relieved from his duties, after being knocked out of the year's Copa Libertadores. Thirteen days later, he was named manager of Palmeiras, and won the 2015 Copa do Brasil.
Sacked on 10 March 2016, Oliveira returned to Atlético on 20 May. He managed to reach the finals of the 2016 Copa do Brasil, but after a defeat to eventual champions Grêmio in the first leg, he was fired.
On 25 July 2017 Oliveira returned to Coritiba, but left the club after failing to avoid relegation.
