Dicá started playing at the Santa Odília football school, an amateur team from Campinas. When embarking on his professional career, he chose Ponte Preta, a club for which his father was a supporter. He gained prominence from the 1970s onwards, being hired by Santos in 1971 where Dicá had the opportunity to play alongside Pelé.[4] [5] Dicá returned after 8 months back to Ponte, and was later traded to Portuguesa, the club that won the 1973 Campeonato Paulista.[6] Dicá returned for his third spell at Ponte Preta at the end of 1976, where he established himself as a great player in the club's history. He remained until 1985 when he left for AE Araçatuba, his last club.
Dicá lives in the city of Campinas, and has worked on several occasions as a sports commentator on radio and TV in the region.
