Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Ávila began his career as a fitness coach of Santa Tereza in 1992. In 1996, he left the side to become a coach of Cruzeiro's Infantil team. [2]

Ávila subsequently returned to his assistant role after the appointment of Dorival Júnior, before being named head coach of Ipatinga in the Série B on 18 July 2007.

[9] On 29 January 2010, he took over Boavista for the year's Campeonato Carioca, [10] but was replaced by Jorge Porto on 25 March. [11]
Back to Cruzeiro and his role as a technical coordinator, Ávila was named interim head coach of the side in June 2010, after Adilson Batista resigned. [12] He returned to his previous role after the appointment of Cuca, and was named head coach of the Brazil national under-17 team on 5 November 2010. [13]

Ávila only lasted six matches in charge of Cruzeiro, being replaced by Vagner Mancini on 26 September 2011 and subsequently returning to his coordinator role. [15] On 7 December 2011, he was appointed Nacional-MG head coach. [16]
Dismissed by Nacional on 27 February 2012, [17] Ávila returned to the Brazilian Football Confederation and was in charge of their under-20 team. On 20 March 2013, he was announced as head coach of the under-20 team of Corinthians, [18] but was replaced by Osmar Loss in September. [19]

Ávila left Betim on 19 December 2020, after failing to achieve promotion, [26] and was named in charge of Pouso Alegre four days later. [27] He left the latter club on 7 May of the following year, [28] and returned to Betim on 2 August 2021. [29]

On 1 December 2022, despite Ventura's departure, Ávila was kept in Goiás' staff for the upcoming season. [32] On 11 April 2023, after the dismissal of Guto Ferreira, he was named interim head coach, [33] and remained in the role for two months before the arrival of Armando Evangelista.
