Cavalcanti won the 2021 Copa do Nordeste with Bahia, but was sacked on 17 August of that year after a poor form in the league.[33] On 22 December, he was named head coach of rivals Vitória for the ensuing campaign.[34]
After finishing in the fifth position in the 2022 Campeonato Baiano , Cavalcanti was replaced by Geninho on 17 March 2022.[35] On 15 May, he returned to the second level after being named head coach of Vila Nova ,[36] but was sacked on 2 July after nine winless matches.[37]
