Evaldo dos Santos Fabiano (born 18 March 1982), known simply as Evaldo, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a left-back.

Club career

Evaldo was born in Rio Piracicaba, Minas Gerais. Having started out professionally with Club Athletico Paranaense and Democrata Futebol Clube,[2] he moved to Europe in 2003, as he was purchased by FC Porto in Portugal; he spent most of his only season with their reserves.[3]

In summer 2004, Evaldo was involved in a transfer that brought compatriot Pepe from C.S. Marítimo as he, Antonieliton Ferreira and Tonel all went to Madeira.[4] After a shaky start, he became an undisputed starter.[3]

Evaldo joined S.C. Braga in the 2008 off-season, after four years in Madeira. With no competition in his position,[5] he only missed one Primeira Liga match in his first year, as the Minho side qualified once again for the UEFA Cup.[6]

After helping Braga to its best-ever league finish in the 2009–10 campaign (second),[7] Evaldo joined Sporting CP in June 2010, signing a four-year contract worth 3 million.[8] [9] He made his official debut on 14 August, in a 1–0 away loss against F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[10] On the 26th, he scored a rare goal – and through a header – as the Lions defeated Brøndby IF 3–0 after losing 0–2 at home, thus qualifying for the Europa League's group stage.[11]

On 14 July 2012, Evaldo moved to La Liga club Deportivo de La Coruña in a season-long loan.[12] His first competitive appearance for the Galicians took place on 20 August, as he played the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 home win over CA Osasuna,[13] and played 16 overall games during his spell as the campaign went on to end in relegation, being ironically voted by the fans as Player of the Year.[14]

In July 2014, after one year with Sporting where he was limited to training, Evaldo agreed terms with Gil Vicente FC.[15] The following year, after suffering top-flight relegation, he joined fellow league team Moreirense F.C. on a one-year deal.[16]

Evaldo took his game to the LigaPro on 6 July 2016, with the 34-year-old signing with newcomers C.D. Cova da Piedade.[17] He rarely missed a match during his spell, always spent in that tier.[18]

Evaldo dropped down to the Portuguese third division in July 2019, agreeing to a deal at S.C.U. Torreense.[19] Subsequently, he worked as a player-coach with amateurs AC Malveira.[20]
