Emílson Sánchez Cribari (born 6 March 1980) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a centre back for Scottish League One club Rangers.
Career
Cribari started his career in his home state of Paraná, with Londrina Esporte Clube. From Londrina, he moved to Italy where he began his Serie A career with Empoli and Udinese.[1]
Lazio
Cribari joined Lazio in 2005 from Udinese for €5m. In his first two seasons, he established himself as a regular in the Biancoceleste defence, and gained a reputation as a quality and uncompromising player. Cribari was a key man in Lazio's successful season in 2006–07, when they achieved a third place finish to qualify for the Champions League.
He fractured his jaw and cheekbone in Lazio's UEFA Champions League clash with Dinamo Bucharest and was initially ruled out for over two months, but managed to return for Lazio's second leg win only two weeks later. However, his recent form since returning from the injury has been poor, and not of the high standards he set during his first seasons at the club.[2]
Siena
In January 2010 AC Siena have signed the Brazilian central defender from SS Lazio until the end of the season 2009/2010.[3] In the first match for Siena, he got a red card.
Napoli
On 31 August 2010, Cribari signed a deal with S.S.C. Napoli, leaving Lazio for €500,000.[4]
Cruzeiro
On 8 July 2011, after his contract with Napoli expired, Cribari agreed a one-year deal with Brazilian club Cruzeiro.[5]
Rangers
Cribari trained with Rangers with a view to signing on 6 August 2012. The next day it was confirmed he had agreed terms with the club, penning a two-year deal with the option of a third. Emilson stated "The club is famous in my country because it has such a strong history so it was an easy decision for me. Rangers are without doubt the greatest club in Scottish Football, look at their list of honours" [6] Cribari made his Rangers debut on 18 August 2012, as a substitute at home to East Stirlingshire.[7] Cribari went on to help Rangers win the Third Division league title on 30 March 2013 after recording an unbeatable lead at the top of the table many games before the season ended.
