Biography
He played for R.F.C. Seraing and Standard Liège in Belgium and Ajax Amsterdam in Netherlands. The tricky and illusive player established himself in Belgium between 1993 and 1998 before joining Ajax in August 1998. He is famously remembered for scoring the equaliser in offside position against FC Utrecht in the 2002 Dutch Cup final which eventually was won by Ajax in the extra time. In January 2004, he was loaned to Belgian club Mons for 18 months who also retained the first option to buy him. But Mons failed to protect their place in top division, and saw Wamberto join Standard Liège on summer of 2004 on a 2-year contract, but he rejoined the newly promoted Mons on a free transfer on summer 2006. He was released after a year, and returned to the Netherlands, joining FC Omniworld.
His eldest son Danilo Sousa Campos signed an academy contract until summer 2010 with AFC Ajax in June 2007.[1]
