Career

[edit]

Revealed in the Portuguesa youth categories, he became an idol of the club, making more than 300 appearances and participating in winning the 1973 state title. In 1975 he was sold to Corinthians, a club that arrived with the mission of replacing Roberto Rivellino.[1]

He entered the club's history on 13 October 1977 by scoring the goal in the third game of the Campeonato Paulista final, against Ponte Preta, which ended a 22-year title drought.[2][3]

He also had a quick career as a manager during the 90s, coaching Corinthians, Juventus-SP, São José, Nacional, Bragantino, União São João and Inter de Limeira.[4] In 2013 he became a sports commentator, participating in the traditional Mesa Redonda program on TV Gazeta.[5]
