Career
Born in Tubarão, Santa Catarina, Cabral started his career at Figueirense, being a manager of the club's youth sides. In July 2013 he moved to fierce rival Avaí, again assigned to the youth setup.
In 2014, Cabral was appointed assistant manager of the main squad. He was also named interim in two occasions: the first, as a replacement to Emerson Nunes in a 2–1 win against Figueirense, and the second in four matches after the dismissal of Pingo.
On 19 August 2014 Cabral was appointed at the helm of Grêmio's under-20 side. On 16 December, however, he returned to his previous club Avaí, again as an assistant.
Cabral was also an interim in 2015, but after a 1–2 loss against Marcílio Dias, he was replaced by Gilson Kleina. The latter was sacked on 10 November of that year, and Cabral was again named interim until the end of the year. He remained in charge until March 2016, being replaced by Silas.
On 15 June 2016, Cabral was named Mirassol manager.
