Dirceu Wiggers de Oliveira Filho (born 5 January 1988), simply known as Dirceu, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Portuguese club U.D. Vilafranquense.

Club career

Dirceu was born in Ibaiti, Paraná. A Coritiba youth graduate, he made his debut as a senior in a derby against Atlético Paranaense in 2008 Campeonato Paranaense.[1]

On 30 December 2008 Dirceu renewed his contract with Coxa, being definitely promoted to the main squad.[2] A defensive midfielder, he was converted into a central defender during the 2009 campaign.[3]

After being rarely used, Dirceu was subsequently loaned to Botafogo-SP[4] and Avaí[5] in 2011, suffering relegation with the latter. In 2012, he represented Nova Iguaçu[6] and América Mineiro,[7] also in temporary deals.

On 7 January 2013 Dirceu was loaned to Londrina, with Arthur moving in the opposite direction.[8] He subsequently had another loan spell at Paysandu,[9] and moved abroad to FC Hoverla Uzhhorod on 25 January 2014.[10]

Nearly a month later Dirceu rescinded with Hoverla and returned to his previous club Londrina, now in a permanent deal.[11] He was a first-choice during his second spell at Tubarão, being also a part of the squad during the club's Campeonato Paranaense winning campaign.

On 27 July 2015, Dirceu signed with C.S. Marítimo.[12] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 13 September, starting in a 5–2 home routing of Vitória de Setúbal.[13]

Dirceu scored his first goal abroad on 15 November 2015, in a 4–2 Taça da Liga away win against C.D. Feirense.[14] Twelve days later he added another, but in a 1–3 loss at C.D. Nacional.[15]
