Player career

[edit]

Revealed in the Guarani youth categories, Marcelo Vita made history by scoring the winning goal in the 1981 Silver Cup (currently Série B).[1] He was traded to Vasco da Gama where he won the Taça Rio in 1984 and was runner-up in Brazilian championship. Traded with Udinese in 1985, he played little due to the excess of foreign players, being traded to Internacional where he remained from 1985 to 1989, when suffered a serious knee injury. Vita played for several clubs in the 1990s, with emphasis on AE Araçatuba, where he won the second level of São Paulo, and EC Pelotas, where he ended his career.[2]

Vita was part of the Brazil under-20 squad that competed in the 1981 FIFA World Youth Championship.[3]

He had a modest coaching career, managing Inter de Bebedouro in 2009 and Radium de Mococa on two occasions, in 2010 and 2012.[2]
