Born in Santo André, São Paulo, Zanocelo joined Ponte Preta's youth setup in July 2016, from Juventus-SP, after previously playing futsal for Corinthians, Remo and Portuguesa.[1] On 23 February 2019, he renewed his contract until December 2021.[2]
Zanocelo made his first team debut on 20 March 2019, coming on as a late substitute for Nathan Silva in a 0–1 Campeonato Paulista away loss against Palmeiras.[3] He scored his first goal ten days later, netting a last-minute equalizer in a 2–2 away draw against Oeste.[4]
Zanocelo only started to feature more regularly in the 2020 campaign, where he contributed with 15 league appearances.
Ferroviária[]
On 23 January 2021, Ponte Preta reached an agreement with Ferroviária for the transfer of Zanocelo, for a fee of R$ 2.3 million.[5][6] He was announced at his new club on 3 February, after agreeing to a four-year contract.[7]
Zanocelo immediately became a starter at his new club, contributing with one goal in 12 appearances in the 2021 Campeonato Paulista.
Santos (loan)[]
On 4 June 2021, Zanocelo moved to Santos on a two-year loan deal, with a buyout clause.[8] He made his club – and Série A – debut thirteen days later, replacing Gabriel Pirani in a 0–1 away loss against Fluminense.
