He also had a successful spell at Portuguesa, where he was notable for scoring beautiful goals, such as one scored against CA Juventus in the 1979 Campeonato Paulista. He was hired by Grêmio in 1983 and won the Copa Libertadores and Copa Intercontinental with the club.[1] He returned to Maranhão at the end of his career and was two-time champion playing for Sampaio Correa.
