Biography

Treviso

Born in Jundiaí, Brazil, Reginaldo started his career with Campo Grande. The club was associated with Pedrinho VRP, which helped numbers of Brazilian footballers transferred to Italy. Reginaldo began his professional career with Treviso F.B.C. in 2001, and helped the club win promotion from the third-tier Serie C1 league to the top-flight Serie A championship (also due to Caso Genoa, Torino and Perugia financial difficulty) . In 2005, Serie A club Udinese signed him outright (cash plus Dino Fava) and loaned Reginaldo back to Veneto.

Fiorentina

Followed by the relegation at the end of 2005–06 Serie A season, Reginaldo moved to Serie A club ACF Fiorentina from Udinese for €1 million. He played 27 games and scored six goals for Fiorentina during the 2006–07 Serie A season, after which he moved to league rivals Parma F.C., signing a 5-year contract.^{[citation needed]}
