Born in Matelândia, Zumbi played professional football for twelve years with União (MT), Sport Club do Recife, Olária (RJ), Marília (SP), Paraná Clube and Rondonópolis Esporte Clube.[1] As a youth, he played in Italian club U.C. Sampdoria's youth system.

In 2004, he led the Campeonato Mato-Grossense in scoring with 21 goals in 27 matches for Vila Aurora. This led to a move to Primeira Liga side Marítimo at age 25,[2] but after failing to settle, he returned to Vila Aurora in 2005.[3]
