Having started his career at Goiás of Goiânia,[2] Fernandão had a four-year spell in France, initially moving to Marseille for R$1.4 million, before returning to Brazil to play for Internacional. He helped the club finish as runners-up in the 2005 season of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. In the same year, he had his first cap against Guatemala and made an assist for forward Fred to nearly score a goal - the ball hit the post.
2006 was arguably Fernandão's best year. He led Sport Club Internacional to win the Copa Libertadores for the first time ever.[3] Fernandão was a joint top scorer of the competition and was voted man of the Match in the final against São Paulo, match in which he scored one goal and made one assist. After the win, he extended his contract with Sport Club Internacional and skippered the club to win the FIFA Club World Cup in December. In May 2010 the same Brazilian club São Paulo FC announced the signing of striker Fernandão of Goiás for an undisclosed fee.[4] In May 2011 the two sides agreed to terminate the playing contract between them in a friendly manner.[5]
As coachedit
On 20 July 2012, Internacional, after the firing of Dorival Júnior, announced Fernandão as their new coach.[6] On 20 November, however, Fernandão was dismissed by the club's directory.[7]
Deathedit
On 7 June 2014, Fernandão, at the age of 36, died in a helicopter crash. The Eurocopter AS350 where he was with four more people crashed by around 1 a.m. in Aruanã, Goiás, Brazil. All occupants were found dead.[8] His wake was at the training center of Fernandão's first team Goiás, before a burial in Goiânia.[9] In Porto Alegre, the city where he had the most success as part of Internacional, the club proceeded to homage Fernandão by unveiling a statue of his outside of Beira-Rio later that year,[10] while in 2015 one of the streets outside the stadium received his name.[11]
