NationalityTunisian
PositionDefender/Right back

A Brazilian by birth he has played most of his football in Tunisia but had a spell at Bastia before returning to play for Esperance in 2001. On the international set up he was called into the 1998 World Cup Finals squad after being granted citizenship but did not play. He has only been a fringe player ever since he played no part in qualification and did not make the 2002 African Nations Cup Finals squad. He is an adequate performer on the right hand side of the defence and gets forward at every opportunity.
