César started his career at CA Juventus, a small São Paulo team at the time. In 1994 his team was promoted to the top division of the state and the team was awarded an amount of money for the success; however this money was stolen, and César was discovered to involved, giving information about the delivery, and sentenced to 5 years and 4 months of jail. In 1998 he was released, and returned to football, thanks to the intervention of São Caetano, a team which had signed him one year before being arrested, and loaned to União Barbarense, a satellite club. When back to São Caetano, César immediately became a key player, even becoming the team captain. He then led his team from minor leagues up to the National Brazilian championship finals in 2000, being also capped for the Brazil national football team.
After being tracked by Lazio for some time, in the summer of 2001 César joined the Italian Serie A team, becoming an important player for the Roman team. In January 2006, after a long courtship, Inter Milan loaned César, giving him the opportunity to play in one of the leading teams of Italy. At the summer of 2006, the contract with Lazio ended. Cesar joined Inter, signed a logn term contract. But César was transferred to major Brazilian Série A team Corinthians on loan. However, on December 2006, the end of Brazilian season, César declared his willingness to return to play in Italy; he signed by Livorno on loan in January 25, 2007, to replace the left of César Prates.
