Career
editEduardo was born in Florianópolis, Brazil. In 2007 he played for Grêmio on loan from RCD Espanyol. He was especially noted for being an extremely tight marker, and is booked with alarming regularity [1]
A member of Brazil's Under 17 World Cup winning side, he came to France in 2001 to play for FC Girondins de Bordeaux, where he commanded a regular first team spot for three seasons, including playing a key role in Bordeaux's UEFA Cup run during the 2002–03 season. He followed that with a move to Olympique de Marseille, but after an unhappy year there, he was signed by Espanyol in 2005 for €4 million in four-year contract.[2] He did not play in 2008–09 Ligue 1, as he would occupied a non-EU quota. In January 2009 he left for São Paulo in three-year contract.[3]
On 8 August 2009, he signed with AS Monaco FC[4] on a three-year deal.[5]
In December 2010, Eduardo Costa was loaned to Vasco da Gama for six months.[6] Six months after it became a permanent deal following Monaco's relegation from the Ligue 1.
