Jean Almeida Santos (born 22 April 1993), commonly known as Janclesio or just Jan, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a center-back for V.League 1 team Becamex Bình Dương.

Club career

In the half of the 2019 V.League 1 season, Janclesio joined the newly promoted V.League 1 side Viettel and appeared in 11 games.[2]

In 2020, Janclesio joined Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh. He was named team captain shortly after his signature and played an important role to help his team finish in top 8 of the league table in their first ever season in V.League 1.[3]

In 2021, Janclesio played for SHB Đà Nẵng. He appeared in every possible league game before the season was cancelled due to the effects of Covid-19 in Vietnam.[4]

On 21 December 2021, Janclesio made his comeback to Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh.[5] In the last round of the 2022 V.League 1 season, he scored the winning goal for his team's 2–1 victory against Thanh Hóa, thus helped his team avoid relegation as they are 1 point above the relegation zone.[6] He scored a total of 7 goals during the season, a record for a defender in V.League 1's history.[7]

In August 2023, Becamex Bình Dương announced the signing of Janclesio to the team.[8] He made his debut as a starter 29 October 2023, as Becamex Binh Duong defeated Binh Dinh 2–0.
