After spending his youth years at Rio de Janeiro club Flamengo, he began his professional career in 1984 at Grêmio.
On 17 November 1988, during a Campeonato Brasileiro Série A match against Flamengo, he was selected as replacement goalkeeper after Zetti suffered an injury.
At the end of his contract he joined Italian Serie A side Lecce, where he failed to make a breakthrough with only five games played.
He left the club halfway through the season and signed with Boca Juniors, where once again he failed to repeat his good performances.
Back in Brazil, he joined Atlético Mineiro in 1994 where he played once again alongside his good friend Renato Gaúcho.
