Higo Magalhães Batista (born 6 April 1982), sometimes known as just Higo, is a Brazilian football coach and former player who played as a defensive midfielder.[1] He is the current head coach of CSA.
Playing career
[edit]Born in Goiânia, Goiás, Higo began his career at Vila Nova, making his senior debut in the 2002 Série B.[2] He left the club in 2009, and moved to Goiânia EC.
In 2011, after representing local sides Canedense,[3] Anápolis and Aparecidense, Higo joined Boa Esporte. He left the club to sign for Villa Nova ahead of the 2012 Campeonato Mineiro, but rejoined the side on 27 April 2012.[4]
Higo returned to his native state in 2013, joining Itumbiara. He subsequently returned to former side Aparecidense, before agreeing to a contract with Uberlândia for the 2014 campaign.[5]
In July 2014, Higo returned to Goiânia, where he featured rarely and retired in the end of the season, aged 32.
Coaching career
[edit]After retiring, Higo worked as Ariel Mamede's assistant for several years,[6] replacing him at the helm of Atlético Goianiense's under-20 squad in December 2018.[7] In 2020, he returned to his first club Vila Nova, as a permanent assistant manager of the first team and manager of the under-23s.[8]
Higo was named interim manager of the first team in March 2021, after Márcio Fernandes was sacked.[9] He returned to his previous role after the appointment of Wagner Lopes, but was again named interim in June when Lopes left the club.[10]

Back to the assistant role after the arrival of Hemerson Maria, Higo returned to the managerial role in August 2021, after Maria resigned.[11] On 24 November, he renewed his contract for the 2022 season.[12]
On 15 May 2022, Higo was sacked by Vila Nova.[13] He was announced as head coach of Camboriú on 19 November,[14] but was dismissed the following 6 February.[15]
On 24 February 2023, Higo replaced Paulo Henrique Marques at the helm of Série C side Manaus.[16] He was dismissed on 19 June, with the club in the relegation zone,[17] and returned to Vila Nova on 23 October, after a brief spell at Centro Oeste.[18]
Higo was left Vila on 17 March 2024, after a 2–0 loss to Aparecidense in the first leg of the 2024 Campeonato Goiano semifinals.[19] On 20 May, he was named in charge of CSA in the third division.[20]
