Jônatas (footballer, Born 1982)
Jônatas Domingos, or simply Jônatas (born July 29, 1982 in Fortaleza, CE), is former Brazilian footballer who played as a defensive midfielder. Career A skillful defensive midfielder, Jônatas came from Flamengo's youth team and played professionally for the club from 2002 until 2006.
