Enrico (footballer)
Enrico Cardoso Nazaré (born 4 May 1984, in Belo Horizonte), commonly known as Enrico, is a former Brazilian footballer who played as attacking midfielder. CareerAfter playing for Brazilian clubs such as Atlético Mineiro and Ipatinga, Enrico signed with the Swedish club Djurgårdens IF in mid-2006. Vasco da Gama In 2009, after almost three seasons as a standout for the Swedish club, Enrico returned to Brazil, signed by Vasco da Gama. That year he won the Série B. Loan to Coritiba In 2010 he was loaned to Coritiba, winning the Campeonato Paranaense and the Série B. Return to Vasco In 2011, after his loan ended, he returned to Vasco da Gama. That same year Enrico became champion again, this time winning the Copa do Brasil. Ceará A few weeks after winning the Copa do Brasil, he was loaned to Ceará until the end of the season. Ponte Preta In 2012, Enrico was loaned again by Vasco da Gama, this time to Ponte Preta. There he played alongside Rodrigo Pimpão, who was also loaned by the carioca club. Return to Vasco In 2013, he returned to Vasco. Early in the year, Enrico began to feel severe pain in his left knee. Infiltration and PRP were some of the repeated procedures, but nothing worked. A more in-depth examination revealed that a bone was pressing on the fibular nerve and preventing him from making sudden movements. Vasco's medical department didn't have a specialist to take care of such a problem. The player contacted his uncle, Ronaldo Nazaré, former doctor for Cruzeiro and the national team. Only in November they found a specialist who would accept the case. On May 30, 2014, after his contract ended, Enrico left Vasco. He was the last remaining player who won the 2009 Série B. Greek football In the second half of 2014, Enrico signed with the Greek club Apollon Smyrnis. In early 2015, Enrico transferred to Iraklis Psachna FC, also in Greece. Return to Sweden In mid-2015, Enrico moved to Sweden again, this time to play for Huddinge IF. In 2016, he signed with Enskede. In 2017 Enrico ended his professional football career and started working as an agent at his sports management company. Career statistics
