Career
Marcio Santos began his career at the Novorizontino club, with which he went from the amateur league to Serie B of the Brazilian championship . Then, Marcio played for Internacional and Botafogo . After receiving the “Silver Ball” , awarded to the best players of the championship of Brazil, Marcio went to Europe, where he played for the French “ Bordeaux ”, went to League 1 , where he spent 2 seasons.
In the summer of 1994, Marcio joined the Italian club Fiorentina . Before the championship, the club’s president, Checky Gory , promised that if the Brazilian scored 6 goals in the season, he would arrange a dinner with Sharon Stone , whose fan was Marcio. The season for Fiorentina failed: the club took only 10th place in Serie A , and the Brazilian scored only twice and sent two more goals to his own goal.
In 1995, Marcio moved to Ajax , where he was planned as a replacement for Frank Rykard . However, in two seasons the Brazilian spent only 21 matches, the reason for which was numerous injuries and the game of Frank de Boer , who had a firm place at the heart of the team. Also, the Brazilian became the fastest player removed from the field in the championship of the Netherlands : in the match with PSV he received a red card already at the 19th second of the meeting.
In 1997, he returned to Brazil, where he played for the clubs Atletico Mineiro , Sao Paulo and Santos . Then he played in small Brazilian clubs in China and Bolivia.
