Biography

edit

Danilo was born in Caruaru, a city located in the eastern of the Brazilian state of Pernambuco.

Football career

edit

Danilo started his career in the Sport Recife's low divisions. In 2004, was loaned to Campinense and won the Campeonato Paraibano.[1] Danilo had received an offer to play in the Spanish club Numancia, but he wasn't signed because this team already had three foreign players.[2] He also has been linked to play in the Chinese football.[3]

In 2013, while at the Alecrim ranks, Danilo was diagnosed with cerebral malaria and stayed in coma for 10 days, with doctors saying that he had 1% chance of surviving. However, he had fully recovered and resumed his professional career.[4]

International career

edit

Danilo is naturalized Equatoguinean since 2006, when Antônio Dumas (Brazilian coach who naturalized Brazilian footballers for Togo and Equatorial Guinea) was the coach of the Equatorial Guinea national football team. Since that time, Danilo has been consolidated in the goal of his new home. His better moment with the Nzalang Nacional (Equatorial Guinea national team's nickname) was against Cameroon in the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations qualification, on 9 September 2007.[3]

He played in unofficial matches vs. the Region of Murcia[5] and Extremadura in 2007[6] and against Brittany in 2011.
