Club career
Athirson was born in
Flamengo. He was signed by Italian club Juventus in 2001, but was loaned to Flamengo in February 2002.[2] His contract was terminated in October 2003.[3]
Late career
In 2005 Athirson was signed by
Roque Junior. He then signed a six months contract with Botafogo.[4] but his contract was terminated on 4 October 2007, after just playing only seven times for the club.[5]
He signed a one-year contract with
Brasiliense on 22 February 2008, then signed for Portuguesa in September 2008. On 26 April 2009 the left-back signed for Cruzeiro on a free transfer until December.[6]
He had received an offer from
America-RJ after his contract with Portuguesa expired on 31 December 2010. In 2011, he signed for Duque de Caxias to play at Campeonato Brasileiro Série B but was released during the competition. On 6 October 2011, he signed for Projecta, a Brazilian indoor soccer club based at Espírito Santo.[7]
International career
Athirson played five times for the
Brazilian U-23 side, which competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics. He was a member of the Brazil under-20 squad which won the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship
.
Style of play
Usually an attacking left back or wing-back, Athirson could also play on the left wing, and as an attacking midfielder. He was useful there because of his accurate passing, long-range striking ability, attacking drive, and articulate dribbling skills.[citation needed] His talent, playing style, nationality, and position led him to be compared to compatriot Roberto Carlos in his youth.[8]
Managerial career
Athirson was appointed coach of Goytacaz in October 2018.[9]
