Football career
Leone was born in Vargem Grande do Sul. From 2000 to 2008, in his homeland, he represented Campinas-SP, CR Vasco da Gama, Ituano Futebol Clube, Goiás Esporte Clube (twice), Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, Sport Club Corinthians Paulista and Vila Nova Futebol Clube.
During that timeframe, Leone also had abroad stints with Vicenza Calcio and A.C. Siena in Italy. After appearing very rarely with both sides, he joined S.C. Braga in Portugal for the 2008–09 season, playing more than initially expected in his first year due to longtime injuries to habitual starters Paulo Jorge and Alberto Rodríguez. He also managed to score in the 3–0 home win against Standard Liège for the campaign's UEFA Cup round-of-16 (4–1 on aggregate).
In 2009–10 Leone played less, but still helped with 11 league matches as Braga finished a best-ever second, netting in a 2–0 home win against C.D. Nacional on 8 January 2010. In July he returned to his country, penning a contract with Sport Club Recife.
In May 2011, 32-year-old Leone decided not to extend his contract with Sport and left the club.
