Playing career
editBorn in Rio Verde, Goiás, Carvalho was a youth product of Vila Nova, but made his senior debut while on loan at Jataiense in 2006. He only started to feature with the main squad of Vila in the 2008 season, after another loan spell at Trindade.
A regular starter in the 2009 season, Carvalho subsequently lost his starting spot and moved to América-SP for the 2011 campaign. On 1 November of that year, after being a regular starter for Boa Esporte, he joined Série A side Cruzeiro.[1]
Carvalho made his top tier debut on 29 July 2012, starting in a 2–1 home win over Palmeiras. The following 23 January, he renewed his contract until 2016,[2] but returned to his former club Boa on loan on 20 August 2013.[3]
On 12 August 2015, Carvalho joined Ceará on loan until the end of the year.[4] In 2017, he moved to Aparecidense after his contract with Cruzeiro expired, and retired with the club in the end of the 2018 season, aged 30.
Coaching career
editAfter retiring, Carvalho became an assistant coach of his last club Aparecidense in 2020. In September of that year, he became the club's head coach, and led them to a first-ever promotion to the Série C in 2021, as champions.[5]
Carvalho was sacked by the Camaleão on 7 March 2022,[6] and was named head coach of Caxias on 18 May.[7] He left the latter on 13 April 2023, after accepting an offer from América de Natal,[8] but was sacked on 10 July.[9]
On 5 February 2024, Carvalho was appointed at the helm of Ypiranga-RS.[10] He resigned on 20 October[11] to return to his first club Vila Nova, now as head coach.[12]
On 25 November 2024, Carvalho was announced as head coach of Figueirense.[13] He was dismissed the following 28 April, after a poor start of the 2025 Série C.[14]
On 1 December 2025, Carvalho was named Juventus-SP head coach for the upcoming season.[15]
