Born in Belém, Pará, Giovanni Augusto graduated from Atlético Mineiro's youth setup. He made his first team debut on 17 March 2010, coming on as a second half substitute in a 0–1 away loss against Chapecoense, for that year's Copa do Brasil.[1]

After appearing rarely, Giovanni Augusto was loaned to Náutico in May 2010.[2] He returned to Galo in 2011, but spent the following campaigns out on loan to Grêmio Barueri, Criciúma,[3] Náutico,[4] ABC[5] and Figueirense.[6]

With Figueira Giovanni Augusto appeared regularly in Série A, avoiding relegation and scoring four goals in 24 appearances. He also scored the first official goal of Arena Corinthians on 18 May 2014, in a 1–1 draw against Corinthians.[7]
