The revelation of the Flamengo club
Jorginho was born on August 17, 1964 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A right-back, he began his football career at the America-RJ club where he played a few matches and made a name for himself in Brazilian football. It was finally Flamengo who recruited the young player. At Flamengo, he truly became one of the best Brazilian players of his generation and one of the best full-backs in history. With Zico, Bebeto and Carlos Mozer, he was crowned Brazilian champion in 1987.
Beautiful seasons in Europe
A Brazilian international, he then chose to join Europe and the German championship with Bayer Leverkusen. There, he confirmed his incredible talent and had the level to play in the best clubs in the world. It was finally Bayern Munich who recruited the player barely 3 years after his arrival in Europe. He won the Bundesliga there in 1994.
A legend of Brazilian football
Aged 31 in 1995, he decided to follow in Zico's footsteps and join the Japanese championship, through the Kashima Antlers team. A great success both collectively and individually. And in 1999, he returned to Brazil, to the São Paulo club, and in 2000, he won the Brazilian championship with Vasco de Gama.
With the Seleçao, he was first Josimar's understudy during the 1987 Copa America, then he became a real starter for this team and a notable player of his generation. During the 1990 World Cup, he was a starter, as well as in 1994 when he won the competition. During this competition, he also provided the assist that sealed Brazil's victory for Romario's goal against Sweden in the semi-final. In the final, he was injured after 20 minutes, leaving Cafu to replace him, but it was Jorginho who finished in the competition's all-star team.
