Born in Olinda, Pernambuco, Givanildo Oliveira represented Santa Cruz as a youth and made his first team debut in 1969. A part of the club's five consecutive Campeonato Pernambucano titles, he also became team captain in the process.[1]
In 1976 Givanildo Oliveira moved to Corinthians, but was sparingly used and subsequently returned to Santa in the following year. In 1980, after a short stint at Fluminense, he joined state rivals Sport, eventually retiring with the club in 1983 at nearly 35 years of age.

In 1987, while in charge of Paysandu, Givanildo Oliveira won the year's Campeonato Paraense,[3] and subsequently returned to his first club Santa Cruz in 1989.[4] He left the club in the following year, and was subsequently in charge of CSA (two stints), Paysandu,[3] Sport (three stints), Central, Ponte Preta (two stints), Remo, Bragantino, CRB, Náutico (two stints), Guarani, Bahia and América Mineiro; with the latter he achieved promotion to the Série A in 1997.[5]
In 1998, Givanildo Oliveira rejoined Santa after leaving América,[4] and went back to Paysandu in April 2000, leading the latter club to the top tier in 2001 and winning the 2002 Copa dos Campeões, which qualified his side to the 2003 Copa Libertadores.[6] He resigned in September 2002,[7] and subsequently took over Náutico.[8]
In April 2003, Givanildo Oliveira was named manager of Remo,[9] and left the club in December.
