Geninho

Born in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Geninho was a product of hometown side Botafogo-SP. He made his first team debut in 1966, aged just 16, and became a regular starter in the following year.

Geninho subsequently represented Francana, São Bento, Paulista, Caxias, Vitória and Novo Hamburgo, retiring with the latter in 1984 at the age of 36.

Immediately after retiring Geninho started working as a manager, being in charge of his last club Novo Hamburgo. In 1985, he took over another club he represented as a player, Francana, and returned to Botafogo-SP in the following year.

In October 1987, Geninho was appointed manager of Santos, replacing departing Candinho.{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4GcSk9up6zcC&pg=PA50 |title=O tapa-buraco vencedor|trans-title=The winning cover|work=Placar Magazine|date=24 June 1988|page=49|access-date=5 December 2018}} He moved abroad the following July, being named at the helm of Primeira Liga side Vitória de Guimarães.{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rh8PACMG6NEC&pg=PA10 |title=O Palmeiras fica mais um ano na fila|trans-title=Palmeiras stay one more year on drought|work=Placar Magazine|date=15 July 1988|page=10|access-date=5 December 2018}}
