Football career
Born in Barreiros, Pernambuco, Gaúcho spent most of his career as a prolific goalscorer in Portugal, mainly with C.F. Estrela da Amadora for whom he played in five Primeira Liga seasons. In 1999–2000, his 21 league goals – third-best in the competition – propelled the Lisbon outskirts club to a final eighth place.
Gaúcho, who represented five other teams in the country, also had brief spells in South Korea and Spain. In the 1998–99 campaign, loaned by Estrela, he only scored twice as CD Ourense suffered second level relegation; he played almost until his 40's, retiring after a stint in amateur football in his country.
