He is nicknamed after fellow footballer Paulo Miranda when playing for Iraty, after a coach said that his name "was not suited for a defender".[1]

Paulo Miranda had his contract with Náutico rescinded on 24 May 2023, after having his name included in the 2023 Brazilian football match-fixing scandal.[2] Eight days later, he received a 1,000-day ban from football, aside from being charged a R$ 70,000 fine.[3]
