Luís Airton Barroso "Lulù" Oliveira (born 24 March 1969 in São Luis, Maranhão, Brazil) is a former Brazilian-Belgian football player and currently coach of Floriana in the Maltese Premier League. He spent most of his playing career in Italy.
Born in a Brazilian favela in São Luis in Maranhão, in 1985 he was signed by Anderlecht in Belgium, where he started his career and played until 1992.
He then moved to Italy, where he played for Cagliari, Fiorentina, Bologna, Como, Catania, Foggia, Venezia and Lucchese, becoming famous in his early years at Cagliari and Fiorentina as a prolific and effective Serie A striker.
In 2006, he accepted to play Nuorese of Serie C2/A, also in order to get closer to his family (his wife in Sardinia). In 2008, following the disbandment of his club, he agreed for a move to Serie D team Derthona.
In July 2009 Oliveira moved back to Sardinia, joining Eccellenza club Muravera, an Eccellenza club based at his wife's hometown, then retiring in 2010 at the age of 41.
