Juary

Juary Jorge dos Santos Filho (b orn 16 June 1959), known simply as Juary, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a striker, and currently a manager. He is the current head coach of Campeonato Roraimense club Náutico.

Club career
Born in São João de Meriti, Rio de Janeiro, Juary started his career at Santos FC. As an 18-year-old, he was important to the club's 1978 conquest of the Paulistan League. He had his first stint abroad the following year, with Mexico's Leones Negros de Guadalajara.

In 1980, Juary embarked on an Italian adventure that would last five seasons, as he mainly represented modest teams (U.S. Avellino, Ascoli Calcio 1898 and U.S. Cremonese – additionally, in 1982–83, he played with Inter Milan, scoring twice in Serie A).

Juary moved to Portugal and FC Porto, in the 1985 summer, serving as backup to club great Fernando Gomes. There, he achieved the greatest moment in his career when, on 27 May 1987, he came from the bench to net the decisive 2–1 against FC Bayern Munich in the 1986–87 European Cup final, assisted by Rabah Madjer who had just equalized the score.

However, Juary left Porto in the ensuing season, returning to his country with Associação Portuguesa de Desportos and moving back to Santos the following year, where he was not able to reproduce his previous form, finally retiring in 1990 with Moto Club, in São Luís, Maranhão.

In the 2000's, Juary worked as a youth coach at Avellino, Potenza and Napoli.

Juary was appointed as head coach of Eccellenza Basilicata amateurs Banzi in February 2009, but left only after two games (both ended in a loss), citing personal reasons that required his presence in Brazil.

In January 2010 Juary signed, also as main coach, at Lega Pro Seconda Divisione side S.F. Aversa Normanna, replacing Raffaele Sergio.

Between 2015 and 2021, Juary worked in Santos' youth setup, eventually managing the club's U13s.

On 16 November 2023, Juary was appointed manager of Campeonato Roraimense club Náutico.

International career
Juary played twice for Brazil in 1979 (aged 20), going scoreless in the process: his debut came on 26 July against Bolivia, and he also appeared in a friendly with Argentina on 2 August. He was a member of the squad that took part at the Copa América that year, reaching the semi-finals.
