Born in Paraíba do Sul, Rio de Janeiro,^[2] Larghi began his professional career at Botafogo in 2011, as a performance analyst. In January 2013, he was called up by technical director Carlos Alberto Parreira to join Luiz Felipe Scolari's staff in the Brazil national team.^[3]

After the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Larghi left the Seleção and spent some time in Europe.^[1] In 2016, he returned to Brazil and joined Oswaldo de Oliveira's staff at Sport.^[4]

Larghi remained as Oswaldo's assistant at Corinthians^[5] and Atlético Mineiro. On 9 February 2018, after Oswaldo's dismissal from the latter, Larghi was the only staff member kept at Galo;^[6] he was subsequently named interim manager.
