Eduardo Ribeiro dos Santos (born 5 August 1980 in São João, Piauí) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as striker for Ríver.
Born in Brazil, dos Santos applied for Swiss citizenship in September 2006 after having lived in Switzerland for six years, thus enabling him to play for the Swiss national team.[1]
Career[]
France[]
Dos Santos scored his first goal for Guingamp, a penalty against Strasbourg.[2] He gained many admirers due to his versatile play exhibited with Grasshoppers playing opposite Richard Nuñez.
On 9 May 2009, dos Santos entered French football history by scoring both his team's goals in a 2–1 triumph in the Coupe de France final against Stade Rennais FC, despite his side being a Ligue 2 club at the time.[3]
Dos Santos joined promoted Ligue 1 club RC Lens in July 2009 after agreeing to a three-year deal.[4]
After two stints with AC Ajaccio, dos Santos signed an eighteen-month contract with Ligue 2 club FC Metz in January 2014.[5]
Return to Brazil[]
Eduardo returned to Brazil in June 2014, after 13 years in Europe, signing for Ríver in his native state of Piauí.[6] In between spells with Ríver, he featured for Altos and Campinense in Campeonato Brasileiro Série C and, in 2019, for Treze in 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, where he was joint top scorer with 8 goals.[7][8][9] He returned to Ríver for the 2020 season.[9]
