International career

Quarentinha won 13 international caps for the Brazil national football team between 1959 and 1963, scoring 14 goals. Quarentinha also played six friendly games for Brazil in which he scored six additional goals. His greatest regret was to be left out of the Brazilian squad that defended the World Championship crown in Chile in 1962. On 12 May 1963 he was in the squad at San Siro Stadium, in a match against Italy, Pelé's only game played in Italy. He never played in FIFA World Cup and died at 62.[http://sambafoot.com/en/players/1312_quarentinha.html Sambafoot.com]
