Playing career

edit

Jacozinho was born in Gararu, Sergipe, and started his career with Vasco-SE in 1976. In the following year, he moved to neighbouring Sergipe, playing his first national championship and later representing clubs in the state of Bahia.[1][2]

In late 1980, Jacozinho joined CSA.[2] There, he featured regularly as the club finished second in the Série B three times and won the Campeonato Alagoano five times, and was somehow invited to Zico's friendly in 1985, celebrated due to his return to Flamengo; he was included in the Amigos do Zico (Zico's Friends) squad. In that match, he scored the only goal of Zico's team, after receiving a pass from Diego Maradona; the match ended 3–1 for Flamengo.[3]

After gaining national notoriety due to the friendly goal, Jacozinho joined Santa Cruz,[4] He came back to CSA in 1987, and subsequently represented Nacional-AM, Baraúnas,[5] ABC, Rio Branco-AC,[6] Imperatriz, Flamengo-PI and Ypiranga-PE, retiring in 1994.

Post-playing career

edit

Jacozinho also worked as Magno Malta's advisor for a nearly 15 years before charging him for mobbing.[7] In 2012, he returned to his main club CSA, as an assistant manager of the youth sides.

In 2015, Jacozinho became an assistant manager of the main squad,[8] being also manager of the under-20s and interim manager on two occasions in 2017[9] and 2018.[10] On 30 November 2019, after Argel Fucks left for Ceará, he was named interim manager for the latter three matches of the Série A.[11]
