Amoroso started his career at homeland club

2001 Coppa Italia final, however.[9]

After two seasons, Amoroso was soon on the move again, this time to

Feyenoord.[12] During his next two seasons with the club, his appearances were more limited however, due to recurring injury problems.[5] Amoroso played for Málaga during the 2004–05 season, although he was mainly used as a substitute, scoring only 5 goals in 29 appearances, as Málaga finished the season in 10th place in the league.[5]

Amoroso moved to

FIFA Club World Championship, finishing the tournament as top scorer,[14] he returned to Italy, signing an 18-month contract for A.C. Milan as a replacement for Christian Vieri, who had transferred to Monaco.[15]

After an unsuccessful spell, Amoroso agreed to cancel his contract with A.C. Milan on 1 September 2006, and immediately signed a new contract with

Grêmio. Since August, Amoroso did not play for Grêmio, having his contract resigned due to lack of form.[17] In January 2008, he signed a one-and-a-half year contract with Aris Thessaloniki. However, he spent only six months in Thessaloniki. On 29 December 2008, Amoroso returned to Guarani for the 2009 season.[18] He retired at the end of the season, at the age of 34, due to injury struggles, despite not making an appearance for the club that year.[7]

International career

Amoroso scored 9 goals in 19 appearances for Brazil between 1995 and 2003.[19] He made his debut in a 5–0 win over Chile, and was later a member of the squad that won the 1999 Copa América.[3]

He has also played for Verdy Kawasaki, Flamengo, Udinese, Parma, Borussia Dortmund, Málaga, Milan, Corinthians, Grêmio and Guarani which was his last club.[5]
