Cristiano Marques Gomes (born 3 June 1977), or simply Cris, is a Brazilian football manager and a former player[2] who is the most recently manager of Championnat National club Versailles.[3] Previously he was manager of GOAL FC,[4] and spent three years as manager of the under-19 squad of Lyon.[5] A former centre-back, Cris is also nicknamed "the policeman" by way of reference to his authoritarian nature on the pitch and his four months of experience in a police department in Guarulhos. He won four consecutive Ligue 1 titles with French club Lyon between 2005 and 2008, as well as the Brazilian Championship in 1998 with Corinthians, and in 2003 with Cruzeiro, and he also won the Copa do Brasil in 1995 with Corinthians, and in 2000 with Cruzeiro. Cris represented Brazil at international level, winning the Copa América in 2004.
