Toninho Cerezo, real name Antônio Carlos Cerezo, (born 21 April 1955 in Belo Horizonte) is a Brazilian former footballer. Well known for his tireless style of play and tactical awareness, Cerezo is commonly regarded as one of the finest Brazilian defensive midfielders.

Career

He played as a defensive midfielder with Atlético Mineiro, Roma, Sampdoria, São Paulo and the Brazilian national team.

He won Bola de Ouro in 1977 and 1980 and the Bola de Prata in 1976.

Cerezo won Coppa Italia five times. In 1991 he won both the Serie A and the Coppa Italia with Sampdoria.

With São Paulo he was the two-times winner of the Intercontinental Cup and won Copa Libertadores once.

Cerezo was the best player of the Intercontinental Cup final in 1993.

In 1997, he retired as a player, and, after doing some studies and probations in Italy, he returned to Brazil, and start a career as a manager at Vitória, reaching the semifinals of the Brasileirão Série A. He also led Japanese powerhouse Kashima Antlers in J. League for six years. He won five major titles in Japan, two league championships, one Emperor's Cup and two league cups.

After that, he coached Atlético Mineiro, Guarani, and some Asian clubs such like Al-Hilal, Al-Shabab, Al Ain and returned to Brazil to lead Sport do Recife, leaving just one month later.

National team

Cerezo won 57 caps (full international games), between March 1977 and June 1985, with the Brazilian national team, scoring seven goals.

He played the 1978 FIFA World Cup and 1982 FIFA World Cup. He was also due to go to the 1986 tournament, but a hamstring injury in May ruled him out.

At 1982 FIFA World Cup his back pass was intercepted by Paolo Rossi who went on to score in a 2–3 loss to Italy which saw a hat trick for Rossi and Brazil knocked out of the tournament in a dramatic upset. For many years after the event, he was widely criticized for this awful pass by many Brazilians.

He had not, the paper said, reacted well to its questions concerning his child's new existence. "We got in touch with the former star but, irritated, he limited himself to saying that he had four children, one of them called Leandro," the newspaper reported.
