Odair Hellmann (born 22 January 1977) is a Brazilian football coach and former player who played as a defensive midfielder. He is the current head coach of Athletico Paranaense.
Playing career
Born in Salete, Santa Catarina, Odair was an Internacional youth graduate. He made his first team debut on 8 March 1997, coming on as a substitute in a 1–1 Campeonato Gaúcho away draw against Grêmio Santanense. After winning the 1998 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior with the under-20 side, he was definitely promoted to the main squad, and featured more during that year.
Odair was loaned to Fluminense in the Série C for the 1999 season. Upon returning, he was released by the club, and played for Veranópolis in the 2001 Campeonato Gaúcho. He was also a part of the América de Natal squad in the 2001 Série B, but never featured in a single minute.
In 2002, Odair joined Mamoré as the club was playing in the Copa Sul-Minas, and made his debut against former club Internacional. He started the 2003 campaign at Brasil de Pelotas before moving abroad with Swedish Allsvenskan side Enköpings SK in July; he suffered an injury while training, staying two months sidelined at the latter and subsequently only playing rarely.
Odair returned to Brazil in 2004, after agreeing to a contract with America-RJ. He moved to Remo in the following year, and helped the side to win the third division. After losing his starting spot in 2006, he was also an interim coach for a brief period after Artur Neto was sacked, managing the club in one match before returning to his player status.
After a brief period at CRB (where he struggled with injuries), Odair represented Hong Kong First Division League club Eastern SC in the 2007–08 season. He returned to Brasil de Pelotas in December 2008, and was among the squad which suffered the 2009 Brasil de Pelotas bus disaster. He suffered minor back injuries from the accident, which he fully recovered in October of that year, but still opted to retire.
