In August 2007 Pupo signed for FK Qarabağ in the Azerbaijan Premier League on a one-year contract.[2] Whilst with Qarabağ, Pupo won the player of the month and attracted interest from several Turkish sides, namely Denizlispor, Trabzonspor and Gençlerbirliği OFTAŞ.[3][4] After one season with Qarabağ, and the club apparently unwilling to match Pupo's wage demands, Pupo signed for newly promoted Azerbaijan Premier League side NBC Salyan.[5]
After his stint in Azerbaijan, Pupo signed for Greek top-flight team Panionios FC on a five-year contract.[6] But he left the club after only one full season. Panionios' financial problems was told to be the main reason for his exit.
