Club career

After a series of short spells with various Brazilian and European clubs,[1] Arghus signed a three-year contract with Slovenian club Maribor in 2011.[2] Between December 2011 and May 2012 Arghus was sidelined due to injury and returned on the football pitch in late May 2012 as a substitute in a match against Mura 05, scoring a goal only couple of minutes later.[3]

On 4 August 2016, he signed for Excelsior on a one-year loan deal.[4]

Personal life

Unlike many Brazilian footballers, who lived and played football on the streets, Arghus had a better life as a child, living in a small and quiet town.[3] His mother was a Portuguese language professor and his father a policeman.[3] He also has a younger brother who is involved in football.[3] Arghus is multilingual, speaking three languages fluently: Portuguese, Spanish and Italian.[2] He is married to a longtime girlfriend and childhood friend, Amanda.[3] Arghus holds a dual citizenship of Brazil and Italy.[2]
