Roberto Carlos returned to Iguatu in June 2018, but was dismissed the following 20 January.[9] The following day, he returned to Sousa,[10] but left in March after the club's elimination in the Campeonato Paraibano. He was subsequently named in charge of Tiradentes, but was sacked on 22 May 2019.[11]
