Fernando Lombardi (born 17 January 1982) is a Brazilian football coach and former player who played as a centre-back.

Playing career

Born in Curitiba, Lombardi began his career with hometown side Paraná Clube, making his first team debut in 2001. He became a regular starter in the 2004 season, before being loaned out to Spanish Segunda División side Levante in August 2005.[1]

Lombardi departed the Granotes in June 2006, after failing to play a single minute for the club,[2] and signed for América de Natal in August.[3] On 11 July 2007, he agreed to a deal with Ceará.[4]

Lombardi began the 2008 season at Rio Claro, before moving to Caxias in May of that year.[5] He then played for Mogi Mirim and Vila Nova in 2009, before signing for Atlético Sorocaba on 23 November of that year.[6]

Lombardi spent the 2011 campaign at Volta Redonda, where he was regularly used, and agreed to a deal with Cuiabá on 10 December of that year.[7] He then moved to São Bernardo, before being loaned out to Paysandu on 4 August 2014.[8]

On 2 January 2015, Lombardi joined Capivariano for the Campeonato Paulista.[9] On 1 May, he returned to Papão,[10] where he played 52 matches in the 2016 season.

On 19 January 2018, Guarani announced the signing of Lombardi on a contract for the Campeonato Paulista Série A2.[11] He subsequently represented Água Santa, before signing a short-term deal with Náutico on 8 May 2019.[12]

On 11 March 2022, Lombardi was announced at Desportivo Brasil,[15] but was loaned to Veranópolis late in that month.[16] Back to his parent club in July, he retired in April of the following year with DB, aged 41.

Immediately after retiring, Lombardi became the under-20 coach of his last club Desportivo Brasil, and was the assistant of the first team in 2024. He later worked as Emerson Cris' assistant at Azuriz and Brasil de Pelotas,[17] before returning to Água Santa in July, also as an assistant.[18]

In April 2026, Lombardi returned to another club he represented as a player, Portuguesa, after becoming the assistant of Ademir Fesan, whom he also had worked at Água Santa.
