Football career
Born in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, Peçanha began his career with Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, but did not make any official appearances for the side. In 2001 he signed for Bangu Atlético Clube, again failing to have an impact, and subsequently moved on to América Football Club also in Rio de Janeiro.
In the next three years, Peçanha played for three modest clubs: Novo Horizonte FC, Paui FC and São Raimundo Esporte Clube (AM). In 2005 he was bought by F.C. Paços de Ferreira in Portugal, initially as a backup to youth product Pedro; he made his Primeira Liga debut for the team against C.D. Nacional, in a 0–1 away loss on 21 August 2005.
After impressive performances for the northerners, Peçanha eventually became first-choice. In the 2006–07 season he did not miss one minute of action as the club finished in sixth position, qualifying for the UEFA Cup; he continued to start for the duration of his spell.
In July 2008 Peçanha changed countries again, joining Thrasyvoulos F.C. from Greece. After only one season, which ended in relegation, he returned to Portugal, with C.S. Marítimo. On 16 August 2009 he made his official debut, at S.L. Benfica, in the season opener. He earned himself the Man of the match award in that game, notably saving a penalty from Óscar Cardozo in a 1–1 draw – the islanders finished in fifth position and qualified for European competition.
After leaving the island of Madeira in the 2012 summer, Peçanha went on to spend several years in the Romanian Liga I, in representation of FC Rapid Bucureşti, FC Petrolul Ploiești and FC Viitorul Constanța.
