Levir Culpi (born 28 February 1953) is a Brazilian professional football coach and former player who played as a centre-back.

1972

Known as Levir during his playing days, he was born in Curitiba, Paraná, and started his career with hometown club Coritiba, in 1972.

After spending a six-month loan deal at Botafogo the following year, he signed for Santa Cruz in 1974.

Immediately after retiring Culpi took up coaching, starting with his last club Juventude.

He returned to Cruzeiro in 1998, notably winning the year's Recopa Sudamericana with a 5–0 aggregate success over River Plate.

2000

In January 2000 Culpi took over São Paulo, but was sacked in November.

2002

After spells at Sport and Atlético Mineiro in 2001, he replaced Flávio Murtosa at the helm of Palmeiras on 3 September 2002, but could not avoid the club's first-ever relegation from the top tier.

In December 2002 Culpi was appointed head coach of Botafogo, taking the club back to the main category after finishing second.

During his spell in charge of the team, he discovered Shinji Kagawa, who then played as a defensive midfielder, and used him as an attacking midfielder.

2010

Kagawa combined well with Takashi Inui, another talented young player, and the team under Culpi were promoted to the J. League Division 1 in 2010.

He continued to display his ability to develop young players and construct an attacking team.
