Club career

edit

Atlético Paranaense

edit

Born in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Evandro made his professional debut for Atlético Paranaense against Malutrom, in a 3–1 win for the Campeonato Paranaense on 10 February 2005.[4] He scored his first goal on 1 June, helping to a 3–2 victory over Santos in the Copa Libertadores.[5]

During his five-year tenure at the Arena da Baixada, Evandro was also loaned to Goiás, Palmeiras and Atlético Mineiro.[6] On 25 May 2010, still owned by Atlético, he signed alongside teammate Renan Oliveira with Vitória, in exchange for Neto Berola.[7]

Red Star

Evandro joined Serbian club Red Star Belgrade on 1 December 2010, on a three-and-a-half-year contract.[8] In order to reduce the number of foreigners in the squad, a Serbian passport was requested for him, and the following July the Serbian government approved the move and he officially became a national of the country.

On 16 May 2012, Evandro scored the opening goal in the final of the Serbian Cup, a 2–0 defeat of FK Borac Čačak.[9] On 22 August, however, he terminated his contract immediately prior to the second leg of the UEFA Europa League's play-off round against FC Girondins de Bordeaux, saying to a journalist at Belgrade's airport: "I can't play for Red Star any more. I train, I play games, and there is no money. I can't do it any longer, I have to think about my family. I am not mad at anyone. I loved Belgrade and Serbia. I played the best I could, I don't think Red Star was a mistake."[10]

Estoril

edit

Evandro moved to Portugal with G.D. Estoril Praia in the summer of 2012. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 29 September, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–2 draw at Sporting CP.[11]

On 27 January 2013, Evandro's successful strike during a 3–3 home draw to S.C. Olhanense received widespread media coverage.[12] He finished his second season with a career-best 11 goals, as his team finished fourth and qualified to the Europa League.[13]

Porto

edit

Evandro signed with FC Porto for the 2014–15 campaign.[14] He appeared in 33 competitive matches in his first year, but only four in the first half of 2016–17 after the arrival of new manager Nuno Espírito Santo.[15]

Hull City

edit

On 13 January 2017, Evandro signed a 2+12-year deal with Hull City.[16] He made his Premier League debut the following day, replacing Robert Snodgrass for the last 14 minutes of a 3–1 home win against AFC Bournemouth.[17] He scored his first goal for his new team on 29 January, but in a 1–4 away loss to Fulham in the fourth round of the FA Cup.[18]

Evandro left the KCOM Stadium at the end of the 2018–19 season.[19]

Santos

edit

On 1 July 2019, Evandro returned to Brazil after nearly nine years, and agreed to a one-year contract at Santos.[20] He made his debut for the club on 4 August, replacing Felipe Jonatan in a 6–1 home rout of former side Goiás.[21]

Evandro scored his first goal for Peixe on 1 December 2019, the second of a 2–0 home defeat of Chapecoensel.[22] The following 9 June, after falling down the pecking order under new manager Jesualdo Ferreira, it was announced that his contract would not be renewed.[23]

Chapecoense

edit

On 11 September 2020, Evandro was announced at Campeonato Brasileiro Série B's Chapecoense.[24] On 26 February 2021, shortly after winning the league (a first-ever national honour for the club),[25] he announced his retirement.[26]

International career

edit

Evandro was part of the Brazil under-20 team at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship held in the Netherlands, contributing six scoreless appearances for the eventual third-placed nation.[27]

Personal life

edit

Evandro's father, Osmair, was also a footballer.[28]
