Célio Lúcio moved abroad in late 1997, joining S.C. Braga in Portugal, but returned to Brazil in July 1998 after signing for Coritiba on loan.[2] After returning from loan, he spent a year without playing before joining Rio Branco-SP in 2000, but still owned by Braga.[3]

Célio Lúcio subsequently represented América Mineiro, Goiás,[4] Ipatinga, Olympic and União Rondonópolis, retiring with the latter in 2004 at the age of 33.

Shortly after retiring, Célio Lúcio started working as an assistant manager, his first side being the under-20s of Francana, in 2005.[5] He then worked for local sides before joining Cléber's staff at Metropolitano in 2010;[6] the duo also worked together at Araxá in 2011.[7]

Célio Lúcio returned to Cruzeiro in June 2011, as an assistant manager of the under-20 side.[8] He was named manager of the category in 2019, but was named assistant of the main squad in January 2020.[9]
