At 35 years old, the midfielder is establishing himself under the command of Higo Magalhães and has accumulated 15 matches in the season with the blue shirt in 2025

At 35 years old and far from the spotlight of Série A, midfielder Camacho has found a sequence on the field again. Signed by CSA at the beginning of the season, the player has played 15 games for the blue team in 2025 and is enjoying a moment of stability in the Alagoas squad. Having played for Flamengo , Corinthians and Athletico, Camacho arrived in Maceió surrounded by distrust . His advanced age and recent history of injuries raised doubts about his usefulness to the team. But the midfielder has responded on the field.
Under the command of Higo Magalhães, Camacho gradually gained ground until he finally became a starter. He has already played in games of the Copa do Nordeste, Copa do Brasil, Campeonato Alagoano and Série C — in addition to the national qualifier for the knockout tournament. Camacho has played in three games of the Copa do Nordeste, three of the Copa do Brasil, three of the Campeonato Alagoano, two of the Copa do Brasil qualifiers and four of the Série C. His consistent performance in all competitions reinforces his current importance to the squad.
Despite not having scored any goals this season, the midfielder contributed one assist. He provided the pass for Bryann's goal in the 2-2 draw against Juazeirense, in the fifth round of the Copa do Nordeste. Experience has been Camacho's main asset in this return to football in the Northeast. With a career that includes stints at major clubs in the country, he is now seeking prominence in a more modest, but no less demanding, scenario.
CSA 's number 8 is one of the team's leaders off the field and has also been contributing in the locker room. The coaching staff values his tactical understanding and exemplary behavior with the younger players. Camacho played for Guarani in 2024, where he was a starter for part of the Série B campaign . Before that, he had spells at Flamengo, Corinthians, Santos and Athletico Paranaense, with moments of prominence especially in Curitiba and at Timão.
At Flamengo, he was part of the team that won the Brazilian Championship in 2009, while still at the beginning of his career. At Corinthians, he won the Brazilian Championship in 2017. In 2018, he lifted the Copa Sul-Americana trophy with Athletico, where he played in a rotation system under Tiago Nunes. His resume also includes winning the Série B with Audax and the Campeonato Paulista, as well as participating in Libertadores and international competitions. Even so, Camacho has become less frequent in the national news in recent years.
