Club career

Bigode started his career playing for Atlético Mineiro, of his home city Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais state.[2] He won the Campeonato Mineiro twice, in 1941 and in 1942.[2] He then moved to Fluminense of Rio de Janeiro in 1943, where he won the Campeonato Carioca in 1946.[2] After leaving Fluminense in 1949, Bigode joined his former club's rivals Flamengo in 1950, where he stayed until 1952, when he returned to Fluminense, and retired in 1956.[2]

International career

Bigode played eleven matches for the Brazil national team between 1949 and 1953.[2] In 1949, he won the South American Championship.[2] He was also part of the Brazilian team that finished as the 1950 FIFA World Cup's runners-up, after being defeated 2–1 by Uruguay at Estádio do Maracanã, in what is known as the Maracanazo.[2] In this game Bigode was in poor form, as Alcides Ghiggia dribbled him in both Uruguayan goals.
