Career

Edinho played for four clubs, Santos, Portuguesa Santista, São Caetano and Ponte Preta before retiring from professional football in 1999, at the age of 29.

His greatest achievement was playing in the Santos side that finished runner-up in the Série A in 1995.

Edinho was hired as Santos' goalkeeping coach on February 9, 2007.[2] Until 2014, he was the team's assistant coach.

In 2005, he was arrested for money laundering and drug trafficking. He appealed the sentence and was allowed to remain free during his appeal. In 2014, he was given a 33-year sentence for the charges but adamantly denies any involvement. A court reduced the sentence to 12 years and 10 months, but Edinho must serve his sentence in jail. [3]

gollark: Since it stops when it encounters the first thing with the maximum sum, I think?
gollark: Based on skimming it, your code already does that.

gollark: I disagree. Some are obviously stupid. Some are less obviously or more subjectively stupid. Doesn't mean stupidity is constant.
