Career
Born in Piau, Condé moved to Juiz de Fora, both in the Minas Gerais state, at the age of six. In 1996, aged 22, he started his career training the youth sides of Tupi, and worked at the club until 2001 when he received an invitation from América Mineiro.

In February 2005, Condé became an interim head coach of América's first team, replacing sacked Pintado. He led the club on eight matches before returning to his previous role, and moved to the youth sides of Atlético Mineiro in the following year.

On 16 March 2009, Condé became a head coach for the first time in his career, replacing José Carlos Amaral at the helm of his first club Tupi. He left the side on 7 June 2010, to take over Série B side Ipatinga.

Condé was sacked from Ipatinga on 11 August 2010, and returned to Tupi late in the month. On 20 May 2011, he left the latter again to take over Villa Nova in the Série D.

On 4 November 2011, Condé agreed to become the new head coach of Nova Iguacu for the upcoming season. He won the 2012 Copa Rio with the club, and left on a mutual agreement on 30 April 2013.

On 30 September 2013, Condé was announced as head coach of Caldense for the 2014 campaign. The following 4 April, however, he returned to Tupi for a third spell, with the club now in the Série C.

On 29 October 2014, after narrowly missing out promotion, Condé was dismissed from Tupi, and returned to Caldense five days later. With the latter, he reached the 2015 Campeonato Mineiro finals, losing to Atlético Mineiro.

On 8 May 2015, Condé was appointed head coach of second division side Sampaio Corrêa. He left the club on 4 December after failing to agree new terms, and was named in charge of Bragantino late in the month.

Condé was sacked from Braga on 22 May 2016, and replaced Enderson Moreira at the helm of fellow division two side Goiás on 9 June. He was also dismissed from the latter on 3 September, and was announced at CRB on 30 November.

Condé left CRB on 13 June 2017, and took over Botafogo-SP on 9 October. He led the club to a promotion to the second division in 2018, but was sacked on 16 February 2019 after a poor start in the year's Campeonato Paulista.

On 26 March 2019, Condé was confirmed as head coach of Paysandu, but left on a mutual agreement on 27 May. He agreed to become São Bento's head coach on 25 November, being sacked on 25 February 2020 after six winless matches.

On 12 March 2020, Condé was announced back at Sampaio Corrêa for his second spell. He won the Campeonato Maranhense and led the club to their best finish in the Série B since 2006, before departing on 30 January 2021; hours later, he was announced at Novorizontino.

Condé was sacked from Tigre on 6 February 2022, after a poor start in the Paulistão. He returned to Sampaio on 21 March, leaving on 17 November.

On 7 February 2023, Condé became the new head coach of Vitória. He led the club to their first-ever national title, winning the 2023 Série B and achieving a top-tier promotion.

Despite winning the 2024 Campeonato Baiano, Condé was sacked from Vitória on 14 May of that year, after a poor start in the 2024 Série A. On 27 June, he returned to the second division after being named at the helm of Ceará.
