Career

Born in Castelo, Espírito Santo, Fumanchu began playing football with local side Castelo Futebol Clube from age 14. However, his older brother, Sérgio Roberto, encouraged him to join him at Fluminense Football Club in Rio de Janeiro.[1] He played for CR Vasco da Gama and Santa Cruz Futebol Clube during 1974 through 1977.[2]

Fumanchu moved to Mexico in 1979, joining Club América for one season. He returned to Brazil where he played for Londrina Esporte Clube.

After he retired, Fumanchu became a sports radio commentator based in Castelo.[3]
