Born in Minas Gerais, Danilo was an attacking midfielder who usually played in a playmaker's role. He was known for his technique, vision and goalscoring abilities, which earned him the nickname Zidanilo, in homage to Zinedine Zidane.[3] He made over 450 appearances in a 20-year playing career, during which he was mainly associated with São Paulo and Corinthians. He twice won the Copa Libertadores and the FIFA Club World Cup, as is a four-time Brazilian league champion.
In January 2021, Danilo was appointed as Corinthians' new U23 coach.[4]
