Sebastião Cândido da Silva (born 17 October 1965), better known as Zinho (and later Zinho Banderas), is a Brazilian former professional footballer and manager who played as a attacking midfielder and a forward.[1]
Career
Born in Paraíba, he started playing football in the neighboring state of Rio Grande do Norte, playing amateur tournaments in the city of Carnaúba dos Dantas. He went through selection at ABC de Natal, a club where he was champion in 1990. At Sport, he won titles again, especially the 1994 Copa do Nordeste. At Portuguesa, he was runner-up in the 1996 Brazilian Championship and one of the highlights of the competition, a feat he would repeat years later with São Caetano in 2000 and 2001. From then on, he played for several other clubs across the country, but without repeating his success.
Managerial career
In 2005, Zinho founded Picuí Club in his hometown, a team where he was a player, coach and president. In 2007, he achieved a huge feat, becoming champion of Paraíba with the modest Nacional de Patos.[2] Despite the achievement, he did not coach any team again.
Personal life
In addition to his childhood nickname (Zinho), at AD São Caetano he received the nickname "Antonio Banderas" in reference to the actor who was successful at the time, an irony since Zinho was considered ugly among his club teammates. Being a man with good humor, the player incorporated Banderas into his nickname.[3]
In 2016, he was arrested for non-payment of child support.[4]
