Pedro Paulo de Oliveira, known as Pedrinho (Rio de Janeiro, June 29, 1977), is a former brazilian footballer who played as a midfielder. In January 2024, he took office as the president of Vasco da Gama, with a term set to last until 2026.[1]

Playing career

[edit]

Club career

[edit]

Pedrinho began his journey at Vasco da Gama, joining the club’s futsal team at the age of six. He was promoted to the main squad in 1995 and experienced the pinnacle of his career during Vasco’s victorious campaign in the 1998 Copa Libertadores.[2] In 2001, he transferred to Palmeiras, a move influenced by a debt Vasco owed to Palmeiras from the acquisition of forward Euller.[3]

At the end of 2005, Pedrinho was signed by Ittihad Club of Saudi Arabia, aiming to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup. However, he was excluded from the tournament due to late registration.[4][5] He returned to Brazil in 2006, joining Fluminense but was released by the end of the year.[6][7]

On January 26, 2007, Pedrinho was signed by Santos, where he played in that year’s Copa Libertadores campaign.[8]

In early 2008, Pedrinho signed a five-month contract with Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates.[9] Later that year, in September, he returned to Brazil and rejoined Vasco da Gama, signing on for the rest of the season.[10]

After his contract expired, he joined Figueirense. On August 6, 2009, at the age of 32, Pedrinho announced his retirement from professional football, largely due to recurring injuries that plagued his career.[11]

After two years away from the field, in October 2011, Pedrinho signed with Olaria for the 2012 Campeonato Carioca.[12] He played his final match on January 13, 2013, in a commemorative friendly where Vasco da Gama defeated Ajax 1–0.[13]

International career

[edit]

Following Vasco’s triumph in the 1998 Copa Libertadores, Pedrinho earned his first call-up to the Brazilian national team.[14] In 2002, he played his only match for Brazil in a friendly against Haiti.[15]

Injury record

[edit]

Throughout his career, Pedrinho struggled with frequent injuries. He revealed that there was a point in his career when he began to believe his issues might be psychological, but physiotherapist Nilton Petroni identified a hip imbalance as the root cause. Their collaboration allowed Pedrinho to achieve a milestone in 2007 with Santos, managing over 60 games in a single season.[16]

President of Vasco da Gama

[edit]

Following his departure from Globo, Pedrinho announced his candidacy for president of Vasco da Gama for the 2024–2026 term.[17] On November 11, 2023, he won the election, defeating Leven Siano to become the club's president.[18]
