Known only as Júnior during his playing days, he was born in Araraquara, São Paulo, and made his debuts as a senior with hometown's Ferroviária in 1982.

Two years later, after a brief stint at Marília (club he also represented in the youth setup), he moved to Guarani.

In 1985, Júnior began playing in the state of Santa Catarina, first for Avaí and later for Joinville.

In 1988, he went back to his native state, representing São José, but during the same year he moved to Coritiba.

1989

In 1989 Júnior joined Palmeiras, remaining with the club until 1992.

1994

In the following year he was sold to Grêmio, and subsequently joined Juventude in 1994.

Júnior had subsequent spells at Araçatuba, Matonense and Botafogo-SP, retiring with the latter.

1999

After retiring, Júnior immediately started working as an assistant of Luiz Carlos Ferreira at Matonense in 1999.

He followed Ferreirão to the likes of Inter de Limeira, Atlético Sorocaba, Guarani, Paulista and Santo André, always as his assistant.

2002

In April 2002, while an assistant coach at Figueirense, Júnior was named head coach of his first club Ferroviária.

He left in May of that year to return to Figueirense, as a director of football.

In September 2003, Júnior was named head coach of Figueira in the place of Ferreira.

He won the 2004 Campeonato Catarinense with the side, but was sacked on 20 December of that year.

Three days after leaving Figueirense, Júnior was appointed Fortaleza head coach, replacing Zetti.

He was dismissed on 30 March, after a 2–2 draw against rivals Ceará.

He won the 2006 Campeonato Pernambucano, but was relieved from his duties on 15 August, being subsequently replaced by Givanildo Oliveira.

2010

He led the club to the 2010 Campeonato Paulista and 2010 Copa do Brasil titles (with an historical 10–0 win over Naviraiense in the latter tournament) with an extremely offensive football, with Neymar, Paulo Henrique Ganso and Robinho as its key units.

On 15 September 2010, Júnior had an altercation with Neymar during a 4–2 home win over Atlético Goianiense; after suffering a penalty, Neymar demanded to take the spot kick, but was told by Júnior that Marcel was the one who would take it.

Despite Marcel's goal, the discussion between the player and the coach remained, with Neymar later refusing to pass the ball to Marcel in the match.

On 21 September 2010, it was reported that Júnior would keep Neymar out of the upcoming match against Corinthians as a punishment for his indiscipline actions.
