Club career

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Anjos played with America (RJ), São Paulo, Goiânia, América (GO) and Fluminense de Feira in Brazil.[2]

Next he moved to Europe, first by playing with Portuguese side Académico de Viseu F.C. in the Primeira Liga (Portuguese First League) and moving to Oliveira do Hospital[2] after. After one season in Portugal, he moved to Belgium where he played for R.C.S. Brainois.

Through a strong season in Belgium, Anjos had the opportunity to reach the elite of the European football, moving to Serbia (at that time still Yugoslavia) to represent Spartak Subotica. He was along Carlos Roberto Jatobá and Osvaldo Monteiro the second Brazilians to play in the Yugoslav First League (the first one had been Domingo Franulovic in 1957 with RNK Split). Anjos played for Spartak Subotica in the 1990–91 season.[3] In the same season he left for HNK Rijeka, in the Yugoslav First League.

Coaching career

After retiring, Anjos became coach, managing Portuguese clubs 1º de Dezembro and Castelo Forte Futebol Clube.[2] In 2013, he joined the scouting department of Sporting Clube de Portugal.

International

Anjos was selected to coach the Portugal team that took part in the 2014 Expo Unity World Cup, leading the team to the semi-finals. In the next season he took the position of Technical Director in Mumbai Rush Soccer Academy.
