Career edit
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Mattos moved to São Paulo at a young age and began his career with Palmeiras youth team. He remained at the club until 1955,[1] when he was traded to XV de Piracicaba, and then to Fluminense. In 1957 he was hired by Vitória and became largely responsible for winning the 1957 state title, becoming top scorer and scoring 4 goals in a single game against Bahia,[2] which earned him a call-up to the Brazil national team that participated in the Copa Bernardo O'Higgins.[3] He later played for Bahia, Leônico and Redenção. After retiring, he trained as a lawyer and became a municipal judge in Salvador, the city where he still lives.[4][5]
