Club career
Born in Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, Tite began his career with the amateur sides of hometown club Goytacaz. In 1947 he moved to Fluminense, but after seeing little chances of playing in the first team due to the presence of Telê Santana, he joined Santos in 1951.[1]
After making his debut at the club in May 1951, Tite became a regular starter for Peixe before the breakthrough of Pepe, who played in the same position. He signed with Corinthians in 1958, but returned to Santos in 1960, being a part of the Os Santásticos team and winning several trophies before his retirement in 1963.[2]

Tite played three matches for the Brazil national football team in 1957, scoring the winner on his debut on 11 June, in a 2–1 friendly win over Portugal at the Maracanã Stadium.[3]
Death
Tite died on 26 August 2004, aged 74, after struggling with lung cancer.[4]
