Paulo Miranda de Oliveira (born 25 January 1974), known as Paulo Miranda is a Brazilian football manager and former professional footballer who played mainly as a midfielder and sometimes as a right-back.
Paulo Miranda started his professional career at Paraná in 1991. With Paraná, he won the Campeonato Paranaense five times in six years and helped the club to achieve promotion to Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. In 1997, he moved to rivals Atlético Paranaense and captained the team to the Campeonato Paranaense title in 1998.
In 1999, Paulo Miranda joined Vasco da Gama where he played alongside teammates with international experience such as Juninho Pernambucano and Romário and came to national attention. In the Rio de Janeiro club, he won titles such as 2000 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A (Copa João Havelange) and 2000 Copa Mercosur, also playing the 2000 FIFA Club World Championship Final as a right-back, losing to Corinthians in the penalty shoot-out.
In 2001, he moved abroad for the first time after being bought by Girondins de Bordeaux for 2,3 million Euros. He won the 2001–02 Coupe de la Ligue for the French side and return to Brazil twice on loan after being overlook by Elie Baup and Michel Pavon, playing for Cruzeiro in 2003, winning the Campeonato Mineiro of that year and in 2004 to play for Flamengo. He was later negotiated to São Caetano in the same year where he stayed until 2006, when he was loaned to Coritiba for the 2006 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, becoming one of a few to play for the three Curitiba's big clubs. His time was plagued by injuries and his team failed to achieve promotion, while São Caetano was relegated to the 2nd division that year and he was released from his contract.
