Career

Betão began his career in Corinthians before signing a four-year contract with Sochaux for €1 million on 6 August 2007.[3]

On 14 August 2007, Sochaux decided to sell him, which led to[4] Betão returning to Corinthians.

Betão's contract with Corinthians expired on 31 December 2007. He was offered a three-year renewal but declined. On 8 January 2008, Betão trained with Santos and signed a three-year contract the following day.[5]

Betão made his debut for Santos on 16 January 2008 in the Campeonato Paulista, where they lost 0–2 against Portuguesa. He scored his first goal on 24 February 2008 in the 4–1 victory over Ituano for the Campeonato Paulista 2008.

On 14 January 2015, Betão announced his return to Dynamo Kyiv signing a contract until the end of the season. After only making appearances in the Ukrainian Super Cup, he ended up winning the cup and the Ukrainian Premier League that season. In June 2015, the president of Dynamo Ihor Surkis has confirmed that the club has not renewed Betao's contract and have ended their cooperation with him. On 3 July 2015, he signed a three-year contract with Evian.[6]

On 15 August 2016, Betão returned to Brazil and joined second tier club Avaí.[7] Following the side's promotion to Série A, his contract was extended for a year on 7 December 2018.[8]
