Édson Ataliba Cândido (born 9 July 1956), simply known as Ataliba, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a right winger.
A skilled winger, Ataliba gained notoriety playing for CA Juventus, being the team's highlight mainly in games against the big clubs in the state of São Paulo, especially versus Corinthians,[1] a club he would defend in 1982 and would become an idol, becoming champion of the state in 1982 and 1983.[2] He would become champion once again with Santos FC, this time as a reserve. Unable to repeat the same level of performances, he played for several clubs until retiring in 1993.[3]
