Life

Characteristics

Chinesinho played as a half-forward from behind the tops. He was considered a fast and technically strong player who had the ability to launch attacks from his own defense at lightning speed. He was also an accomplished corner and free kick shooter .

Player career

Chinesinho began his career in the early 1950s in his hometown of Rio Grande with the Rio Grandense club . In 1954 he ran for the club Renner from Porto Alegre and won the state championship in Rio Grande do Sul . From 1955 to 1958, the half- forward played for their local rivals SC Internacional , with whom he again completed the Campeonato Gaúcho de Futebol as a winner in 1955 under coach Teté . During this time he also made his debut in the Brazilian national team , with which he won the Pan American Championship in 1956 , again with Tete as coach.

In 1958, Chinesinho moved to Palmeiras São Paulo , for which he scored 55 goals in 237 games until 1962 and with which he was able to win the 1959 State Cup of São Paulo and 1960 the Taça Brasil . When the Brazilian left the club for Europe in 1962 and hired FC Modena in the Italian Serie A promoted team, the transfer proceeds were used to sign 15 players (including Ademir da Guia ). The team became known in the following years as Academia de Futebol and established one of the most successful periods in the club's history.

For FC Modena, he played 20 games in the 1962/63 season and contributed three goals to relegation to Serie A. At the end of the season marked by some injuries, Chinesinho moved to league rivals CC Catania , where he was a regular for two years. In 1964 he lost with the Sicilian club in Bern's Wankdorf Stadium the final of the Alpine Cup against CFC Genoa with 0-2.

For the 1965/66 season, Chinesinho moved to Juventus Turin , where he took over the shirt number and position of Omar Sívori , who had migrated to SSC Napoli , and was a regular for three years. In the first year he won the Coppa Italia with the Turin club , followed in 1966/67 by winning the only Italian championship under coach Heriberto Herrera .

In the summer of 1968, the half-forward, now 33 years old, moved to league rivals Lanerossi Vicenza , for whom he played 90 Serie A games in four years and scored ten goals. In 1972 he switched to the US North American Soccer League for New York Cosmos , for which he only played one game.

Chinesinho finally ended his active career in 1974 in his native Brazil with Nacional-SP .

Coaching career

After the end of his playing career, Chinesinho returned to Italy, where he was in charge of Lanerossi Vicenza's first team until 1976, first as assistant coach and later as head coach. In the 1978/79 season , the Brazilian coached US Foggia , which was relegated from Serie A in the previous season, and rose with the club in Serie C1 .

From 1979 to 1981, Chinesinho looked after AS Forlì in the C1 series, with which he only narrowly failed in the first year in promotion to the B series. In 1981 the Brazilian was released early there.

In 1985, Chinesinho briefly worked as head coach at Palmeiras São Paulo . He then returned to Italy and looked after young Luca Toni in his role as youth coach at FC Modena in 1995 .

death

Chinesinho died on April 16, 2011 in his hometown of Rio Grande of complications from Alzheimer's disease , from which he had suffered for a long time. His funeral took place two days later in São Leopoldo .
