[edit] Club career

During his career, Rocha represented Manchete Futebol Clube do Recife (then known as Santo Amaro), Santa Cruz Futebol Clube, Guarani Futebol Clube, Sporting Clube de Portugal (having a brief spell with the Portuguese League giants), São Paulo Futebol Clube, Real Madrid (where he helped win the 1993 Spanish Cup), Santos Futebol Clube, Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama, Olaria Atlético Clube, Fluminense Football Club Newell's Old Boys and Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, retiring at nearly 37.

He also was coach of Santa Cruz in 2001[1] and 2007[2] without, however, the same success as a player.

[edit] International career

Rocha played 39 matches with the Brazilian national team in eight years, his debut coming on 19 May 1987, in a friendly match in England (1–1). He went on to appear at two FIFA World Cups: 1990 and 1994.

In the latter edition, he could only appear 69 minutes for the eventual champions, in the first match, a 2–0 win against Russia, remaining injured for the remainder of the tournament. Rocha's last international match was also a friendly, a 5–0 win over Slovakia on 22 February 1995.
