Amaro Gomes da Costa (30 April 1942 – 19 December 2019), better known as Mário Tilico, was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a forward.
Formed in the youth categories of Santa Cruz where did he get the nickname "Mário Tilico", in the second half of 1962, Mário Tilico left Arruda and signed a commitment to Portuguesa de Desportos (SP), a modest first stint, visibly hampered by the lack of adaptation to the climate of the “Land of Drizzle”.
He repeated the feat the following year at Fluminense, and would still play for Bangu, America and Portuguesa de Desportos.
