Early years / Portugal
Born in Sao Paulo, Lino represented several clubs in his country's Serie A. In 2003 he scored five goals for Esporte Clube Bahia, but his team ranked dead last.
In 2006 Lino moved to Portugal, signing for Academica de Coimbra. He only missed one game in his first and only season, but the side only narrowly avoided relegation. He subsequently joined fellow league club FC Porto, appearing rarely during his spell but scoring in a 3–1 home win against Fenerbahce S.K. for the campaign's UEFA Champions League.
PAOK
In the 2009 January transfer window, Lino signed for PAOK FC in the Superleague Greece. He was selected team MVP in 2013–14, surpassing Stefanos Athanasiadis and Miroslav Stoch.
