Emerson Cris Hartkopp (born 22 January 1978), known as Emerson Cris or simply Emerson, is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a midfielder, and is the current manager of Chapecoense.

Career

Born in Curitiba, Paraná, Emerson finished his formation with Paraná and started his senior career while on loan at Grêmio Maringá in 1997. Upon returning, he started to feature sparingly with the first team in the Série A.

Emerson left the club in December 2003, and failed to settle with any club in the remainder of his career. He represented Criciúma, Sport, Gama, Al-Sharjah, Joinville, Bahia, Chapecoense, Anapolina and CRAC; he retired with the latter in 2013.

Emerson returned to Chapecoense in 2014, as a manager of the under-20 squad. He became the assistant manager of the main squad in 2017, and after the dismissal of Vinícius Eutrópio in September of that year, he was named manager in an interim manner.
