In July 2018, Carvalho was Verdão's interim for one match, a 3–0 win over Paraná.[8] On 24 August 2021, he left the club on a mutual agreement.[9]

On 25 January 2022, it was announced that Carvalho would be the new under-20 manager of Santos,[10] but instead he moved to Athletico Paranaense to become their under-23 manager on 9 February.[11] On 5 May, after the club dismissed assistants Maurício Souza and Bruno Lazaroni, he was named interim head coach of the side for one match.[12]

An assistant of the first team for the 2023 campaign, Carvalho was named Athletico's interim head coach on 16 June 2023, after the sacking of Paulo Turra.[13] He returned to the assistant role at the end of the season, and left the club on 15 March 2024.[14]
