Career

Dicá began playing at the Santa Odília football school, an amateur team in Campinas. When starting his professional career, he chose Ponte Preta, a club supported by his father. He gained prominence in the 1970s and was signed by Santos in 1971, where he had the opportunity to play alongside Pelé.[4][5]

After eight months, Dicá returned to Ponte Preta and was later transferred to Portuguesa, the club that won the 1973 Campeonato Paulista.[6] He returned to Ponte Preta for a third spell at the end of 1976, where he became one of the club's greatest players. He remained with the club until 1985, when he joined AE Araçatuba, his final professional club.[7]
