[edit] Career

Willer Souza Oliveira began his career in Brazil with Itapipoca Esporte Clube before moving to Argentinian club Independiente in 2001. Following a transfer to Russia with FC Anzhi Makhachkala (36 matches, 2 goals) in 2002, where he featured mainly in the reserves following the assessment by manager Gadzhi Gadzhiev that "Willer plays as God, and does not play for the team", he subsequently signed for FC Dynamo Bryansk (42 matches) in 2004-2005, enjoying popularity from supporters for his flamboyant approach and acrobatic goalscoring celebrations. This success earned Willer a move to Luch-Energia Vladivostok in 2005, only to again find first-team opportunities limited, despite making a considerable impact in a Russian Cup match against FC Rostov. In the summer of 2006, he went on loan to FC Oryol until the end of the year, where he scored 7 goals. As of June 2007, Oliveira was playing for FK Sūduva in the Lithuanian A Lyga.
