Edson Cholbi do Nascimento (born 27 August 1970), commonly known as Edinho, is a Brazilian football manager and former player who played as a goalkeeper. He is a son of Pelé.

## Playing career

[edit]

Edinho played for four clubs, Santos, Portuguesa Santista, São Caetano and Ponte Preta before retiring from professional football in 1999, at the age of 29. He scored 7 career goals as a goalkeeper, scoring all of them while at Santos.

His greatest achievement was playing in the Santos side that finished runner-up in the Série A in 1995.

## Post-playing career

[edit]

Edinho was hired as Santos' goalkeeping coach on 9 February 2007.[1] Until 2015, he was the team's assistant coach.

On 13 April 2015, Edinho was announced as manager of Mogi Mirim,[2] but was dismissed on 31 May.[3] He was named in charge of Água Santa on 27 May 2016,[4] but resigned on 19 September.[5]

On 14 October 2016, Edinho took over his father's hometown club Tricordiano for the ensuing campaign,[6] but was relieved from his duties the following 8 February, after only two official matches.[7]

On 1 November 2019, Edinho returned to Santos as a development coordinator.[8] In October of the following year, he was named manager of the under-23s.[9]

In 2021, Edinho arrived at Londrina to coach the under-20 team. He was an interim head coach of the first team in 2022, after the dismissal of Vinícius Eutrópio, and was permanently appointed head coach ahead of the 2023 season. On 5 February 2023, however, he resigned after only one win in seven matches.[10]

## Personal life

[edit]

Edinho is the son of football legend Pelé with his first wife Rosemeri Cholbi Nascimento, who is of Brazilian-Argentinian background. Pelé's second son and Edson's half-brother Joshua was also a footballer; a forward, he too played for Santos' youth setup.

Edinho was also close friends with late Brazilian forward Dener, who had called him hours before his death.

### Legal problems

[edit]

In 2005, he was arrested for money laundering and drug trafficking. He appealed the sentence and was allowed to remain free during his appeal. In 2014, he was given a 33-year sentence for the charges but adamantly denies any involvement. A court reduced the sentence to 12 years and 10 months, but Edinho must serve his sentence in jail.[11]

In 2017, Edinho started to serve his sentence in prison, but was given the semi-open regime in the following year. In September 2019, he was given the open regime.[12]
