Playing career

Lazaroni was born in Rio de Janeiro, and represented Flamengo as a youth. A forward, he left the club in 2000 after making no appearances, and subsequently joined Bangu, where he was converted into a defensive midfielder.

In 2002, after impressing for Bangu, Lazaroni joined Vasco da Gama, but featured sparingly for the club. In 2004, after a one-year spell at Swiss club St. Gallen (where he also appeared rarely), he returned to Bangu.

Lazaroni subsequently spent the remainder of his career in the lower leagues, representing Atlético Sorocaba, União Barbarense, America-RJ (two spells) and Portuguesa, aside from five seasons abroad, three with Naval in Portugal and two with Al-Ittifaq in Saudi Arabia. He retired with the latter in 2012, aged 32.

Coaching career

After retiring, Lazaroni returned to his hometown and was named in charge of Botafogo's youth setup in 2014, initially assigned to the under-13 squad.[1] He then left the club in the following year to join his father at Qatar SC, but returned to Bota to take over the technical coordinator of the club's youth sides.

In February 2017, Lazaroni was named general manager of Botafogo's youth setup, but was appointed permanent assistant manager in January 2018.[2] He was subsequently an interim manager of the main squad on two occasions, after the dismissals of Marcos Paquetá and Eduardo Barroca, respectively.[3]

On 1 October 2020, Lazaroni was appointed manager of Botafogo's main squad after the resignation of Paulo Autuori.[4] However, after only 28 days, he was relieved from his duties.[5]

On 13 March 2021, Lazaroni moved to Athletico Paranaense to become their under-23 manager in the 2021 Campeonato Paranaense.[6]
