Club career

Pena was born in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia. After playing with modest clubs in his country he had his first taste of European football in 1998, but only lasted a few months with Grasshopper Club Zürich, moving then to SE Palmeiras. [1]

In 2000, Pena signed for FC Porto, where he was the top scorer in the Primeira Liga in his first season with 22 goals [2] [3] while also adding the Taça de Portugal. [4] After falling out with coach Octávio Machado he was loaned to RC Strasbourg Alsace in France, where he failed to settle; [5] two other loans ensued, and the player experienced some success at both S.C. Braga and C.S. Marítimo. [6]

Released by Porto in June 2005, Pena returned to Brazil. After a spell with Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas he saw out his career with modest sides, retiring in 2011 at the age of 37. [7]
