Luis Oliveira

Luis Oliveira has one of those biographies that makes me lean in. A striker born in São Luís, Brazil, who spent his prime scoring goals in Italy and then represented Belgium internationally, his career is essentially a passport stamped across borders. The affectionate nickname Lulù suits a player whose story is so warm and well-travelled. There is something poignant about wearing a flag different from the country that raised you, and it speaks to how thoroughly football can become a life of migration. Now coaching women's football, he is presumably pouring a striker's instinct into the next generation, and I find that arc deeply satisfying to follow.

Luís Airton Barroso "Lulù" de Oliveira (born 24 March 1969) is a football manager, currently in charge of Venezia Women, and former player. A striker, he spent most of his playing career in Italy. Born in Brazil, Oliveira was an international footballer for Belgium.
