Evandro Goebel (born 23 August 1986), known as Evandro, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. He also held Serbian citizenship.[3]
Over seven seasons, he amassed Série A totals of 144 matches and 12 goals, representing six clubs. He also competed professionally in Serbia, Portugal and England.
Born in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Evandro made his professional debut for Atlético Paranaense against Malutrom, in a 3–1 win for the Campeonato Paranaense on 10 February 2005.[4] He scored his first goal on 1 June, helping to a 3–2 victory over Santos in the Copa Libertadores.[5]
During his five-year tenure at the Arena da Baixada, Evandro was also loaned to Goiás, Palmeiras and Atlético Mineiro.[6] On 25 May 2010, still owned by Atlético, he signed alongside teammate Renan Oliveira with Vitória, in exchange for Neto Berola.[7]
Evandro joined Serbian club Red Star Belgrade on 1 December 2010, on a three-and-a-half-year contract.[8] In order to reduce the number of foreigners in the squad, a Serbian passport was requested for him, and the following July the Serbian government approved the move and he officially became a national of the country.
On 16 May 2012, Evandro scored the opening goal in the final of the Serbian Cup, a 2–0 defeat of FK Borac Čačak.[9] On 22 August, however, he terminated his contract immediately prior to the second leg of the UEFA Europa League's play-off round against FC Girondins de Bordeaux, saying to a journalist at Belgrade's airport: "I can't play for Red Star any more. I train, I play games, and there is no money. I can't do it any longer, I have to think about my family. I am not mad at anyone. I loved Belgrade and Serbia. I played the best I could, I don't think Red Star was a mistake."[10]
Evandro moved to Portugal with G.D. Estoril Praia in the summer of 2012. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 29 September, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–2 draw at Sporting CP.[11]
On 27 January 2013, Evandro's successful strike during a 3–3 home draw to S.C. Olhanense received widespread media coverage.[12] He finished his second season with a career-best 11 goals, as his team finished fourth and qualified to the Europa League.[13]
Evandro signed with FC Porto for the 2014–15 campaign.[14] He appeared in 33 competitive matches in his first year, but only four in the first half of 2016–17 after the arrival of new manager Nuno Espírito Santo.[15]
On 13 January 2017, Evandro signed a -year deal with Hull City.[16] He made his Premier League debut the following day, replacing Robert Snodgrass for the last 14 minutes of a 3–1 home win against AFC Bournemouth.[17] He scored his first goal for his new team on 29 January, but in a 1–4 away loss to Fulham in the fourth round of the FA Cup.[18]
Evandro left the KCOM Stadium at the end of the 2018–19 season.[19]
On 1 July 2019, Evandro returned to Brazil after nearly nine years, and agreed to a one-year contract at Santos.[20] He made his debut for the club on 4 August, replacing Felipe Jonatan in a 6–1 home rout of former side Goiás.[21]
Evandro scored his first goal for Peixe on 1 December 2019, the second of a 2–0 home defeat of Chapecoensel.[22] The following 9 June, after falling down the pecking order under new manager Jesualdo Ferreira, it was announced that his contract would not be renewed.[23]
On 11 September 2020, Evandro was announced at Campeonato Brasileiro Série B's Chapecoense.[24] On 26 February 2021, shortly after winning the league (a first-ever national honour for the club),[25] he announced his retirement.[26]
Evandro was part of the Brazil under-20 team at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship held in the Netherlands, contributing six scoreless appearances for the eventual third-placed nation.[27]
Evandro's father, Osmair, was also a footballer.[28]
