Early life edit

Born in Santa Izabel, in the metropolitan region of Belém, Dioguinho started out in amateur teams and played in tournaments in other states. He has already gone through tests in Santos and Guarani, but at the time he did not succeed. Faced with this scenario, the midfielder abandoned the ball and went to work cutting chickens in a slaughterhouse for about a year and a half, then he returned to playing football for Izabelense, Ypiranga, and then Paragominas, and was part of the Amazonas team that won the 2019 Campeonato Amazonense Second Division, until he settled down to play for Castanhal.[3]

Club career edit

Remo edit

On September 16, 2020, Dioguinho signed a contract with Remo and joined them,[4] and the following year, 2021, he started with the team to a perfect start, scoring two goals in the first two matches.[5]

Ferroviário (loan) edit

On August 8, 2021, Dioguinho joined Ferroviário on loan until December without an option to buy.[6][7]

Paysandu edit

On December 1, 2021, Paysandu announced the signing of Dioguinho, coming from Remo, as he was a midfielder on loan to Ferroviário. The player's contract was approved by Paysandu's football technical coordinator, Lecheva, who had known the player since they worked together at Izabelense in 2017 and Amazonas in 2019.[8][9]

Al-Minaa edit

On December 30, 2022, Dioguinho renewed his contract with Paysandu for an additional year,[10] but changed his mind after receiving an offer from Iraq, where in January 2023 he moved to play in the Iraq Division One, where he signed a six-month contract with Al-Minaa.[11][12][13] In the player's first appearance with his new club, he was able to score the victory goal against Masafi Al-Wasat, as Al-Minaa won 1–0 and rose from third to second place in the ranking table.[14][15] In all, he managed to score 7 goals in 13 matches, and to be an important part of the team that won the league title.[16][17][18]
