Paulo Roberto Bacinello (born 29 September 1959), commonly known as Paulinho Cascavel, is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a striker.
He spent most of his professional career in Portugal, with Vitória de Guimarães and Sporting.[1] His nickname stemmed from his birthplace.
Football career
Born in Cascavel, Paraná, Cascavel started his career with local amateurs Cascavel Clube Recreativo, then successively represented Criciúma Esporte Clube, Joinville Esporte Clube and Fluminense FC. He made five appearances in the 1983 edition of theCampeonato Brasileiro Série B with Criciúma,[2] being top scorer of the following year's Campeonato Catarinense with 27 goals while at the service of Joinville.[3]
Cascavel moved to Portugal in December 1984, signing with Primeira Liga club FC Porto, but his spell there was quite unassuming as he amassed virtually no official appearances. In the following season he joined Guimarães' Vitória SC, scoring 22 times in his second year – competition best – as the Minho side overachieved for a final third place, and qualified for the UEFA Cup.
Cascavel was then signed by Sporting CP for the 1987–88 campaign and netted 23 goals, but the Lisbon-based team finished fourth. He added six goals in as many matches in their quarter-final run in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.[4]
Cascavel's numbers reduced significantly in the following years, and he retired in June 1991 still in Portugal, with Gil Vicente FC.
Personal life
Cascavel's son, Guilherme, also nicknamed Cascavel, was also a footballer – and a striker. Already born in Portugal, he too played mostly in the country, mainly in its Segunda Liga.[1]
