José Gerson Ramos (born 29 March 1981), commonly known as Gerson, is a Brazilian football coach and former player who played as a midfielder. He is the current assistant coach of Juventude.

Playing career

Born in Carmópolis, Sergipe, Gerson began his career with Camaçariense, and later played for Catuense before joining Mogi Mirim in 2005. In April of the following year, he moved to Paraná.[1]

On 24 July 2007, Gerson and Paraná teammate Xaves joined Atlético Mineiro.[2] Regularly used under head coach Zetti, he subsequently lost his starting spot, and would feature mainly as a right-back during the 2008 season before rescinding his contract on 27 May of that year.[3]

Shortly after leaving Galo, Gerson signed for São Caetano. In December 2009, after falling down the pecking order, he was transferred to Mirassol[4]

On 19 April 2010, Gerson was presented at Ponte Preta.[5] In December, he renewed his contract for a further year,[6] and featured regularly in the 2011 campaign.

In December 2012, Gerson agreed to a deal with Atlético Sorocaba for the upcoming season.[7] He moved to Cuiabá on 21 August 2013,[8] but only played once and signed for Rio Branco-SP on 2 November.[9]

Gerson would feature in the lower leagues in the remainder of his career, representing Audax Rio (two stints), Caldas Novas, Rio Verde and São José dos Campos. He retired with the latter in 2017, aged 36.

Coaching career

On 17 May 2018, Gerson moved to Primavera as an assistant coach.[10] In the following year, he joined Real Brasília, where he worked as an under-20 coach and as an assistant of the women's team.

In September 2021, Gerson became the head coach of ARUC after the club established a partnership with Real Brasília.[11] Back to the latter club for the 2022 season, he would later take over Royal.

Ahead of the 2023 campaign, Gerson became the head coach of Real Brasília's first team.[12] He led the club to the 2023 Campeonato Brasiliense title, but left on 15 May 2023.[13]

On 18 July 2023, Gerson was announced as head coach of Trindade in the Campeonato Goiano Terceira Divisão,[14] but left the club before the start of the competition. On 20 November, he took over Samambaia,[15] but left on 2 January 2024, before coaching in a single match,[16] after receiving an offer from Juventude to become an assistant.[17]

On 29 September 2024, Gerson led Ju in a 1–1 home draw against Red Bull Bragantino, as head coach Jair Ventura was suspended.[18] He remained an assistant until August of the following year, when he was named interim head coach after the dismissal of Cláudio Tencati.[19]
