Augusto Sérgio "Guto" Ferreira (born 7 September 1965) is a Brazilian professional football coach.

Career

Born in Piracicaba, São Paulo, Ferreira began his career with hometown side XV de Piracicaba. After a quick spell at Guarani as a performance analyst, he joined São Paulo's youth sides in 1995.

In 2000, after spending three years with the youth teams, Ferreira was named assistant coach of Internacional; in 2002, he was named interim after the dismissal of Ivo Wortmann. He won that year's Campeonato Gaúcho and was permanently appointed as head coach on 4 June 2002, but was still sacked on 26 August.

On 15 May 2003, Ferreira was appointed head coach of Noroeste. The following 17 August he moved abroad, joining Segunda Liga side Penafiel.

On 4 February 2004, Ferreira was dismissed. He was appointed at the helm of Naval on 4 March, but was relieved of his duties on 12 September.

In 2005 Ferreira returned to Brazil, being appointed at Corinthians Alagoano. After a spell back at Inter as a youth coordinator and at 15 de Novembro, he returned to Internacional in 2008, again as an assistant; he was also an interim in June 2008, after the departure of Abel Braga.

In the following two years, Ferreira managed Mogi Mirim (two stints), Criciúma and ABC. On 24 September 2012, he was appointed head coach of Ponte Preta.

Ferreira was dismissed on 6 June 2013, and on 28 July he was named Portuguesa head coach, with the side seriously threatened with relegation. He managed to finish 12th with the club, but the side ultimately suffered relegation due to irregularly fielding in a player; in the following February, he resigned.

On 24 July 2014, immediately after leaving Figueirense, Ferreira returned to Ponte. He was sacked on 3 August 2015, and was appointed head coach of Chapecoense on 14 September.
