Biography

Oliveira started his professional career at Italian Serie A side Chievo. In July 2005, he was loaned to Padova of Serie C1.[3]

He left for Serie C1 side Cittadella on 4 July 2007 on loan with option to sign him in co-ownership deal in the next season.[4] He won promotion playoffs with club in 2008 and promoted to Serie B. He continued to play as a substitute player after the club purchased him.

On 26 June 2009, Chievo bought him back,[5] but on 24 July 2009 returned to Cittadella in another co-ownership deal.[6] Cittadella later signed Antimo Iunco on loan[7] and signed Oliveira outright ; it sold Manuel Iori to Chievo in co-ownership deal.[8] Oliveira started 13 Serie B matches and also played 10 league matches as substitute.

On 1 July 2010, he was signed by fellow Serie B side Vicenza in 3-year contract,[9] which sold Julián Magallanes to Cittadella earlier on 25 June,[10][11] who was already on loan to Cittadella on 1 February.[12] As part of the deal, Chievo also swapped Amedeo Benedetti with Vicenza's Mattia Minesso and both clubs retained 50% registration rights.[9]

On 27 January 2011, he mutually terminated his contract in order to return to Brazil.[13]

On 9 August 2011 he accepted to play in Serie D for Venezia thanks to the insistence of the Director of Football Oreste Cinquini, who previously took Oliveira in Italy when he was only thirteen.[14]
