Career start
Pavão began his career in the youth of the Pequeninos de Joquey, one of the most famous training clubs in Brazil, considered the first talent supplier to the major clubs of São Paulo for years. There he played in a team with the later Brazilian internationals André Luiz and Zé Roberto, before he was taken in 1991, together with André Luiz from Sao Paulo under contract.
As a youth player agrees to it then debuted on October 9, 1991 in Paulista Championship at the 1:4 defeat against AA Internacional, in which he managed the only score. The rest of the season he spent then again in the youth team before he was awarded for the 1992 season at the small Brasil de Farroupilha. For Farroupilha he completed four games and won with the team the unterklassige " Campeonato Gaúcho de Futebol - Segunda Divisão ".
Rise in São Paulo
Back at Sao Paulo he had a hard time in the first team. With Cafu he had the unqualified star of the team was on its position on the right wing right in the middle of veteran Válber come no. Over the season, he came only to sparse deployment times in the Paulista Championship and the Copa do Brasil. In the Campeonato Brasileiro he found no consideration. In contrast, however, he was in the U-18 team of his club one of the top performers and 1993 he celebrated winning the prestigious " Copa São Paulo de Juniores ".
With the disposal of Cafu to Real Zaragoza during the season of 1994 the situation of Pavão changed abruptly. As the first replacement on the right wing, he became under coach Muricy Ramalho -team regular and played a formidable season. He became an important template generator for the offensive through his storm overflows and is named as a key factor for winning the Copa Conmebol in the same year. At the end of the season he subsequently received the Bola de Prata for the best right-back of the season in Brazil, and was elected to the Team of the Year. As a result he came up for discussion in the Brazilian media, whether Pavão should not drive as a back -up for Jorginho for the Football World Cup 1994, since its actual replacement Cafu had played a weak season. However, coach Carlos Alberto Parreira not even nominated Pavão for a preparatory game for the World Cup, which the subject was quickly off the table.
The year 1995 was developed in consequence to a disastrous season for São Paulo. Without big stars, but with many players perspective, as Marcelo Bordon or Denílson, they tried to build on the success of previous years, which completely failed. They finished the season without any titles and slipped in the league on the insignificant place in the table 12. Pavão could not build on the strong performance of last year and went down together with the team. As a consequence of the weak year, the club's management changed the team for playing time in 1996 at almost all positions. Alone for the right winger Cláudio, Juliano Belletti and Capone were committed. The previously weak operating Pavão was in turn suggested to leave the club.
There was a change on loan to newly ascended Atlético Paranaense. However, when the legendary coach Émerson Leão he quickly fell out of favor, and he was sent back to only 4 games in the Copa do Brasil back to São Paulo. As a result, he was further awarded to several smaller clubs, without providing a lot of attention, before he made the jump to Europe in the winter transfer period of the 1997 /98.
Move to Austria
The former Austrian Bundesliga club SC Austria Lustenau had taken him after months of negotiations for the still existing Association's internal record sum of over five million shillings under contract. The change caused quite a stir in the Austrian media, as Lustenau had operated as a rather small club such a high financial cost. In addition Lustenau - President Hubert nail was also publicly announce that it would have taken an absolute star of contract that would bring " more than double the transfer fee " when you sell it in the club treasury. By Vorschusslorbeeren a large expectation to the player, which he could never meet in a row developed.
In his first six months he could hardly convince was set up again by then- coach Edmund Stohr anyway. When his performance in the 1998/99 season did not improve, Stöhr had no choice, as Pavão to bet on the bench, so he became the then most expensive substitutes Austria. In the second half of the season but he fought his way back into the starting lineup and brought for the first time since his move over a longer time constant strong performances before him sat a stubborn disc injury for a long time out of action.
After the departure of Stöhr and the appointment of Klaus Scheer head coach everything pointed to the final breakthrough of Pavão in the "country " out. Scheer tried to let them play offensive and contrary to Stöhr to put less on the defensive, though zugutekam Pavão, the team but let slide end of the table. At the end of the season Lustenau dismounted from the Bundesliga.
Due to a new regime applicable to foreigners in the First League, the team had to be in the result season completely rebuilt, whereupon Pavão had to leave the club. Actually, the Nigerian Jide Olugbodi was planned as a fixed outlet, this graduated unlike Pavão but a strong pre-season, so the club made the surprising decision.
Early End of career
As a result, he completed a trial with former Spanish second division side CD Tenerife, but was not under contract. Similarly, it was him in succession at several Brazilian clubs who did not want to sign him for cost reasons. It was not until 2001 he again came under for some time at Mogi Mirim EC, from 2001 to 2002 he ran for the small Treze FC, which he left after outstanding salaries.
He then instructed his player manager again to find a club abroad for him, because he no longer wanted to play for a Brazilian club. During his time in Lustenau his former manager he had to " a considerable amount of money cheated " that was meant for his family in Brazil. Most recently, he had almost get no money at Mogi Mirim and Treze FC, which he had lost confidence in the Brazilian football.
After he then could not find a club, he took a job as a car salesman in the company of his childhood friend André Luiz in Sao Paulo.
