A retired goalkeeper, most of his professional career was spent in Portugal with Vitória de Guimarães, where he appeared in 226 competitive matches over seven seasons, six spent in the Primeira Liga.[3] He also played for three years with Persepolis in Iran.

Club career

Brazil

Born in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Nílson started his career at Vitória, signing with Santa Cruz in 1999 and achieving promotion from the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B in the same year. He then had loan spells, at Gama and Inter de Limeira.[4]

Nilson was released by Santa Cruz in 2003, for financial reasons.[5] After an injury-ridden stint with Americano he joined Náutico,[6] where he won the Campeonato Pernambucano.

Guimarães

In 2003, Nílson was spotted by Vitória S.C. manager Jorge Jesus and agent António Texeira while playing footvolley, with Jesus wanting him to play in Portugal. They lost touch, but later he was contacted again by Teixeira and agreed to move to Portugal that year[7] after his €90,000 release clause was paid,[8] being first choice from the start but not being able to prevent, however, the Guimarães side from being relegated to the second division in his first season.

After only missing two league games in 2006–07, as the Minho team returned to the Primeira Liga, Nilson played all matches the following campaign as they achieved a third place, and subsequently the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.[9]

Persepolis

On 17 July 2012, aged nearly 37, Nilson signed a two-year deal with Iranian club Persepolis FC.[10] He helped his new team finish second in 2013–14 and thus qualify to the AFC Champions League, keeping a Pro League-best 18 clean sheets.

Nilson extended his contract for another year on 24 May 2014, but was released on 1 January 2015.

Later years

On 10 July 2015, Nilson returned to Portugal with Moreirense FC.[11] For the following campaign, still in that country but in the second tier, he joined C.F. União.[12]

International career

Nilson played for Brazil at under-20 level, and was part of the squad that finished runners-up in the 1995 FIFA World Youth Championship although he did not play.[13] In late May 2011, he was invited by Portuguese coach Paulo Duarte to represent the Burkinabé national team,[14] with the nation risking sanctions due to FIFA eligibility rules if he was selected;[15] the following month, the player announced that he would no longer be eligible since a possible call up to the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations would have negative impact in his Vitória Guimarães career.[16]
