context_page_description: André Luiz Bahia dos Santos Viana is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a defender. He is currently a free agent after leaving Shonan Bellmare.
context_section_description: On 4 July 2011, he moved to Turkish Süper Lig side Samsunspor after seven-year spell in Feyenoord, signing a three–year contract. Upon joining the club, he told Feyenoord's official website that "he admits he is sorry to be leaving and says sorely miss this club and this city" and said about the new move, quoting: "It will take time to get used to being Samsunspor after all those years at Feyenoord".
  Bahia made his debut in the Samsunspor shirt, starting the whole game, in a 3–2 win over Gençlerbirliği on 10 September 2011. Since joining the club, he quickly became a first team regular for the side, establishing himself in the centre–back position. During the season, he also played out in either left–back and defensive–midfield positions. However, on the last game of the season against Sivasspor, Bahia started the match, as Samunspor lost 2–1 and was relegated to the TFF First League next season. At the end of the 2011–12 season, he finished his first season at the club, making 31 appearances in all competitions.
  At the start of the 2012–13 season, Andre left Samsunspor by mutual consent after one season. His release was explained as Andre sued the club over allegedly owing him four months of unpaid wages. Shortly after, he spoke out about his life and playing in Turkey.
