Evandro Carlos Escardalete (born 12 February 1974 in São Paulo), known simply as Evandro, is a Brazilian retired footballer who played mainly as a forward.
Football career
After playing with modest teams in native country (Esporte Clube Taubaté, Londrina Esporte Clube, Criciúma Esporte Clube, Mirassol Futebol Clube, União Bandeirante FC and ABC Futebol Clube), Evandro moved in 2000 to Portugal, joining Rio Ave F.C. in the second division. He became an instant first-choice, going on to amass more than 300 overall appearances for the Vila do Conde club.
In the 2003–04 season, as Rio Ave had just been promoted to the Primeira Liga, Evandro scored 15 goals in 26 games,[1] notably two in a 4–0 home routing of Sporting Clube de Portugal[2] and another in a 1–1 home draw against S.L. Benfica,[3] helping the side overachieve for a seventh place.
From 2008 to 2010, he only appeared in 33 league matches combined – only six in the latter top level campaign – and did not manage to find the net. After one full decade at the service of the same team, Evandro retired from football at the age of 36, after a brief spell in his homeland with amateurs Clube Atlético Guaçuano.
