Lúcio Teófilo da Silva, better known as Lúcio Curió (born 2 July 1984) is a Brazilian football player. He is currently at the América Futebol Clube (RN). Previously he has represented a number of teams in the north–east of Brazil, and a number of teams in South Korea.
Lúcio Curió began his professional career at CSP in Paraíba state. Whilst a CSP player, he served loan spells with larger clubs, making two substitute appearances in Série A for Sport Recife in 2008. On 10 May 2009 he scored his first professional goal for America-RN in a 2–1 Série B defeat to Atlético Goianiense. He scored a total of 15 goals in the season, two behind the top scorer in the division.[1]
In 2010, he moved to South Korea to join K League side Gyeongnam FC. He was top scorer in the league season for the team with 13 goals. On 21 July 2011, he transferred to fellow K League side Ulsan Hyundai.[2] He failed to score in fifteen games.
On 29 February 2012 he returned to Brazil, and to America-RN for a second spell.[3] He scored a further 10 Série B goals during the season.
For the 2013 season Lúcio Curió started a second spell in South Korea, with K League Challenge side Gwangju FC. He again returned to Brazil on 12 February 2014, signing for ABC on a one-year contract.[4] However, after some criticism from the fans, he left after less than three months to join Botafogo-PB.[5]
Lúcio Curió left Botafogo-PB at the end of the Série C and didn't sign again for a professional side until the end of 2015. Amidst suggestions of a return to America-RN for a third spell,[6] he returned to Paraíba state, signing for Treze on 28 November 2015 for the duration of the 2016 Campeonato Paraibano.[7] He scored 3 goals in 6 games, but on 16 March 2016, with the club having won only two of its first 8 games in the competition, and not having secured a place in the second phase, he had his contract terminated, along with four other players.[8]
A day after leaving Treze, Lúcio Curió did sign for America-RN for a third spell.[9]
