Arthur José Ribas Elias (born 5 August 1981) is a Brazilian football manager, currently in charge of the Brazil women's national football team.^[1]

Career

Born in São Paulo but raised in Cajuru,^[2] Arthur Elias began his career in 2006, with the women's team of the University of São Paulo, after previously studying in the university and working in women's futsal.^[3] In 2009, he was offered a managerial role at the women's side of Nacional AC.^[4]

In 2010, after two seasons in charge of Nacional, Arthur Elias joined Centro Olímpico as a supervisor, and became the manager of the women's team in the following year.^[5] He led the side to their first ever Campeonato Brasileiro title in 2013,^[6] and took over Audax under the same role in 2015.

Arthur Elias led Audax to the Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino title in 2016, and to the Copa Libertadores Femenina title in 2017, both when the women's team had a partnership with Corinthians.^[7] Ahead of the 2018 season, as Corinthians opted to reactivate their own women's side, he was named as their manager.^[8]

On 18 December 2019, after winning the 2019 Copa Libertadores Femenina, Arthur Elias renewed his contract for the 2020 season.^[9] He continued to lead the club into successful campaigns in the following years, notably winning another two Copa Libertadores Femenina titles and four consecutive Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino Série A1 titles.

On 1 September 2023, Arthur Elias was announced as the new head coach of the Brazil women's national team, replacing Pia Sundhage; he also announced that he would remain at Corinthians until the end of the 2023 Copa Libertadores Femenina.^[10] Under Elias' management Brazil would reach the final of the football tournament of the 2024 Summer Olympics and finish with the silver, the team's first Olympic medal in 16 years.^[2]
