Club career
Born in Curitiba, Paraná, Magno started playing professionally with Clube de Regatas do Flamengo and Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense. He moved overseas in 1996, spending three seasons with Dutch Eredivisie club FC Groningen and being relegated at the end of his last. Aged 24, Magno joined La Liga side Deportivo Alavés for the 1998–99 campaign, remaining six years with the Basques and playing an important attacking role (mainly as a substitute as the team reached the 2001 final of the UEFA Cup which was lost to Liverpool in extra time, where he was sent off). He subsequently returned to the Netherlands, signing for De Graafschap. After a season back in the Netherlands with De Graafschap – also relegated from the top level – Magno started a Cypriot adventure in 2005, first playing with AC Omonia. On 6 June 2008, he moved to fellow First Division side AEK Larnaca FC on a one-year contract. References
