Career

edit

Revealed in the youth sectors of CR Vasco da Gama, he had few opportunities in the first team. He ended up taken to Rio Grande do Sul by the director Heleno Nunes [pt], and ended up agreeing with Atlântico de Erechim. Due to a great performance in a match against SC Internacional, he was hired by the club, and was part of the 1976 state and Brazilian champion squad. After losing space, he arrived at Coritiba in 1978 and became an idol of the club. Gardel was twice state champion and played for the club until 1985, being part of the beginning of the Brazilian title campaign that year. He had a loan spell at Barcelona SC in 1981 and was champion in Ecuador,[1] and in 1986 he ended his career at Criciúma, becoming champion again.[2][3]
