Dorival Silvestre Júnior (born 25 April 1962), known as Dorival Júnior, is a retired footballer who played as a defensive midfielder, and the current manager of Santos.
Known only as Júnior during his playing days, he was born in Araraquara, São Paulo, and made his debuts as a senior with hometown's Ferroviária in 1982. Two years later, after a brief stint at Marília, he moved to Guarani.
In 1985, Júnior began playing in the state of Santa Catarina, first for Avaí and later for Joinville. In 1988 he went back to his native state, representing São José, but during the same year he moved to Coritiba.
In 1989 Júnior joined Palmeiras, remaining with the club until 1992. In the following year he was sold to Grêmio, and subsequently joined Juventude in 1994.
Júnior had subsequent spells at Matonense, Botafogo-SP and Criciúma, retiring with the latter in 1999, aged 37.
Júnior started his managerial career in 2002 with his first club Ferroviária, joining Figueirense in 2003 and winning the Campeonato Catarinense in the following year. In 2005, he was appointed Fortaleza manager, again being crowned champions of the state league.
