If you go here you can hear him introduced by a fellow Brazilian

If you can read the International Phonetic Alphabet and have the fonts installed to read it there is also a guide to pronunciation on the wikipedia biography

Brasilians speak Portuguese, and it's similar to Spanish. His name is pronounced pow-lo co -elyo. The accent for Coelho is on the el sound. I think coelho is Portuguese for rabbit, and you can probably find the phonetic pronunciation in an English/Portuguese Dictionary. It may help you to know that Brasilian Portuguese is sometimes different from the Portuguese spoken in Portugal.

It's similar to Spanish "Paulu Cuellu". If you don't know know Spanish I can't help because English is not a phonetical language, sorry.
