Ânderson Miguel da Silva (born 28 July 1983), known as Nenê, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Italian club Spezia Calcio as a striker.

Football career

Born in São Paulo, Nenê began his career with modest Brazilian clubs, also having a spell at Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, then moved abroad to Portugal's C.D. Nacional in July 2008. In his first and only season in Primeira Liga he turned in stellar performances, leading the goalscoring charts with 20 goals (22 overall)[1] by notably netting in home fixtures against Sporting Clube de Portugal (1–1) and S.L. Benfica (3–1 win),[2] while also helping the Madeira team reach the semifinals of the Portuguese Cup and qualify for the UEFA Europa League.

In June 2009, Nenê joined Italy's Cagliari Calcio on a four-year contract for about €4.5 million, with the player reported to be earning approximately €450,000 per season.[3] He spent his debut campaign in the Serie A alternating between the starting XI and the substitutes bench, but still scored eight goals – second-best in the squad – as the Sardinia club narrowly avoided relegation.

On 12 December 2010, Nenê scored a hat-trick in a 3–0 home win against Calcio Catania,[4] In July 2013, aged 30, he renewed his contract for another year.[5]

On 25 July 2014, after five seasons and an average of less than five league goals, the free agent signed for fellow league side Hellas Verona FC.[6] Late into the following January transfer window he was loaned to Spezia Calcio in Serie B,[7] with the move being made permanent in the summer.
