Career

Born in Bragança Paulista, [1] Azzi joined Paulista's youth setup in 2008, aged 13. In July 2013 he was promoted to the first-team ahead of that year's Copa Paulista. [2] He also appeared three times in the competition, all from the bench.

On 31 January 2014, Azzi joined Serie B side A.S. Cittadella. [3] On 15 March he made his professional debut, starting and assisting Juan Surraco in the winner against Carpi at Pier Cesare Tombolato; [4] seven days later he scored his first professional goal, netting his side's second of a 4–0 routing at Padova. [5]

On 11 July 2020, he moved to Serie D club Seregno. [6]

On 1 February 2021, he returned to Serie C and signed with Lecco. [7]

On 3 July 2021, Azzi signed a two-year contract with fellow Serie C side Modena. [8] He made his debut on 6 September in a 1–1 league draw against Reggiana as a late substitute for Alessandro Marotta. [9] On 31 October, he scored his first goal for the club in the injury time of a 2–0 home win over Carrarese. [10] The Brazilian eventually contributed to Modena's direct promotion to Serie B after six years. [11] [12]

After spending the first half of the 2022–23 season as a regular starter at Modena, [12] on 12 January 2023 Azzi officially joined fellow Serie B club Cagliari for an undisclosed fee, signing a contract until June 2025, with an option for another year. [13] [14] He subsequently made his debut two days later, starting and scoring a goal in a 2–0 league win against Como. [15]

On 22 January 2025, Azzi moved to Cremonese in Serie B on a one-and-a-half-year contract. [16]
