Playing career


Djurgården

In the summer of 2006, Enrico signed with Djurgårdens IF on a 3.5-year contract. Before that, he had played for the Brazilian teams Atlético Mineiro and Ipatinga. He made his debut and scored his first Djurgården goal in the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds tie against MFK Ružomberok in July 2006 on Råsunda Stadium.


Vasco da Gama

In 2009, after almost three seasons as a standout for the Swedish club, Enrico returned to Brazil, signed by Vasco da Gama. That year he won the Série B. In 2010, he was loaned to Coritiba, winning the Campeonato Paranaense and the Série B. In 2011, after his loan ended, he returned to Vasco da Gama. That same year Enrico became champion again, this time winning the Copa do Brasil. A few weeks after winning the Copa do Brasil, he was loaned to

until the end of the season. In 2012, Enrico was loaned again by Vasco da Gama, this time to Ponte Preta. There he played alongside Rodrigo Pimpão, who was also loaned by the carioca club. In 2013, he returned to Vasco. Early in the year, Enrico began to feel severe pain in his left knee. Infiltration and PRP were some of the repeated procedures, but nothing worked. A more in-depth examination revealed that a bone was pressing on the fibular nerve and preventing him from making sudden movements. Vasco's medical department didn't have a specialist to take care of such a problem. The player contacted his uncle, Ronaldo Nazaré, former doctor for Cruzeiro and the national team. Only in November they found a specialist who would accept the case. On 30 May 2014, after his contract ended, Enrico left Vasco. He was the last remaining player who won the 2009 Série B.


Greece

In the second half of 2014, Enrico signed with the Greek club Apollon Smyrnis. In early 2015, Enrico transferred to Iraklis Psachna FC, also in Greece.
