However Vinícius rarely featured for São Caetano, making just two league appearances and scoring once. In 2002, he was signed by Sociedade Gama. Here he regularly made appearances for the club, taking part in nineteen games in the league without scoring. He was showing a lot of potential and European clubs began to show an interest. Gama agreed to loan Vinícius out to German Bundesliga outfit Hannover 96 for the 2002–03 season. He made seventeen appearances, scoring twice during this loan spell and impressed the manager at the time.[2] Hannover signed Vinícius for £700,000 in 2003. Vinícius had a spinal disc herniation and so he could not play from 2008 to 2010. Hannover 96 did not extend his contract because of his injury, but he is at the team to keep in shape.

Bergantin subsequently worked at Inter de Limeira and Santo André in his native state, before being named head coach of CSA on 21 February 2023.[4] He was sacked by the latter club on 21 June.[5]
On 30 January 2024, after a short period at Retrô, Bergantin was appointed in charge of Ferroviária.[6]
