Playing career
editBorn in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, Peçanha began his career with Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, but did not make any official appearances for the side. In 2001, he signed for Bangu Atlético Clube, again failing to have an impact, and subsequently moved on to América Football Club also in Rio de Janeiro.
Peçanha played for three modest clubs in the next three years: Novo Horizonte Futebol Clube, Ríver Atlético Clube and São Raimundo Esporte Clube (AM). In 2005, he was bought by F.C. Paços de Ferreira of Portugal, initially as a backup to youth product Pedro. He made his Primeira Liga debut for the team against C.D. Nacional, in a 0–1 home loss on 21 August 2005.[2]
After impressive performances for the northerners, Peçanha eventually became first choice. In the 2006–07 season, he did not miss one minute of action as the club finished in sixth position, qualifying for the UEFA Cup; he continued to start for the duration of his spell.
Peçanha changed countries again in July 2008, joining Thrasyvoulos F.C. from Greece. After only one season, which ended in relegation from the Super League, he returned to Portugal, with C.S. Marítimo. On 16 August 2009, he made his official debut, at S.L. Benfica in the season opener; he earned himself the Player of the match award in that game, notably saving a penalty from Óscar Cardozo in a 1–1 draw[3]– the islanders finished in fifth position and qualified for European competition.
After leaving the island of Madeira in the summer of 2012, Peçanha went on to spend several years in the Romanian Liga I, in representation of FC Rapid București,[4] FC Petrolul Ploiești[5] and FC Viitorul Constanța.[6] He then returned to Portugal, where he played in quick succession for C.D. Feirense (top division),[7] Académico de Viseu F.C. and Académica de Coimbra (both in the LigaPro).[8]
Coaching career
editAfter retiring at the age of 39, Peçanha returned to Paços de Ferreira as a goalkeeper coach.[9] In September 2019, he was appointed manager of Portuguese third-level team C.D. Trofense.[10] Only one month later, after four games and no wins, he was dismissed.[11]
