Adílio played two games for the Brazilian national team
The first game was played on July 5, 1979, against a Bahia state combined team, while the last game was played on March 21, 1982, against West Germany. As a coach
After retiring from playing, Adílio began to devote himself to coaching.
In 2003 the former player accepted an invitation from Flamengo to take command of the basic categories.
Back in her crib, Adilio played an enviable job in front of the red and black boys. Also helped form players of the caliber of Renato Augusto, Erick Flores, Thiago Sales, and midfielder Rômulo. In this work period at Flamengo, Adilio had one that was perhaps its greatest opportunity in the coaching career when he was driven to take the senior team in 2006.
The team that had remained wildly in Série A of 2005, thanks to the good offices of Joel Santana, had lost its commander and is now coached by Adílio.
Experience, however, failed. The team played two matches Adílio and lost to both New Delhi and Cabofriense respectively.
After this, the former player came back to coach the team base. In 2008, after spending a season in white, Adilio was passed over the post and gave way to Rogério Lourenço.
