## Club career

With this club he won the Torneio Rio-São Paulo three times and the national title in 1968, he also won four state titles. In 1969 he moved to the Uruguayan top club Nacional and played there for five years. Nacional had a period of glory and won four titles with Manga and in 1971 he won the Copa Libertadores against Estudiantes. The club was now also allowed to play in the intercontinental cup against Panathinaikos and here too the club came out on top. In 1974, he returned to Brazil, with Internacional, with whom he won the Campeonato Gaúcho three times and won the national championship twice. From 1977 to 1979 he won the state championship with a different club in a different state. He ended his career with the Ecuadorian Barcelona, with whom he also won the league title in 1981.

## International career

He also played for the national team and in 1965 was preferred to two-time world champion and big star Gilmar. At the 1966 World Cup in England, however, Gilmar was preferred to Manga. After a defeat against Hungary, which Gilmar was blamed for, Manga was allowed to take over in the third game against Portugal, but the Brazilians also lost this game and were eliminated.
