Playing career

In his country Galvão played for Sport Club Internacional, Bangu Atlético Clube, Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense (two spells) and CR Vasco da Gama. In 1990–91 he moved to FC Lugano in Switzerland, where he would remain for the following six seasons,[1] winning the 1993 Swiss Cup after having reached the final of the competition the previous year.

After contributing rarely to Grêmio's fifth place in the 2001 Série A, also winning his second Brazilian Cup – the first was also conquered with that club, four years before – Galvão retired from football, at the age of 40.

He gained 24 caps for Brazil, his debut coming in 1986.[2] After being an unused squad member at that year's FIFA World Cup, he was a starter under Sebastião Lazaroni in the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy, partnering Ricardo Gomes, Carlos Mozer and Ricardo Rocha – all four stoppers saw time during the tournament, Galvão played all four games, three complete – in a 5–3–2 formation, in an eventual round-of-16 exit.

Additionally Galvão helped the national team win the 1989 Copa América, also appearing in all the matches at the 1984 Summer Olympics tournament, which ended with silver medal conquest.[3][4]

Managerial career

In 2003 Galvão replaced Antônio Lopes as Vasco's head coach, starting his coaching career.[3] He managed the club in 28 games, finally preventing its relegation to the Série B, after finishing 17th.[3] The following year he was appointed at Botafogo taking Levir Culpi's place, but was himself fired before the end of the season.[3]

In 2005 Galvão briefly managed Clube Náutico Capibaribe, coaching Vila Nova Futebol Clube in the same year.[3]
