Amoroso (born July 5, 1974 in Brasilia) is a Brazilian football
player who currently plays for the famous Italian club side AC
Milan. He has played his football for several teams in Italy and
Germany, while representing Brazil at international level.
Amoroso started his career at homeland club Guarani FC at 1992.
In July of 1992, he was loaned to a Japanese outfit Verdy
Kawasaki FC, and returned to Guarani FC two years later. In
1996, he transferred to CR Flamengo, but he came to prominence
playing in the Italian Serie A for unfashionable Udinese Calcio
in the late 1990's. There he starred alongside Oliver Bierhoff
in a side which played an adventurous 3-4-3 formation. When
Bierhoff left the club for AC Milan, many thought Udinese would
struggle to repeat their success, but that very next season
Amoroso himself became the focus of the team, and was the top
scorer in Serie A. A big-money move to Parma followed. The Parma
side never quite fulfilled their potential to win the league
title, and Amoroso was soon on the move again, this time to
Borussia Dortmund in Germany. Amoroso played for Málaga during
the 2004-2005 season.
Amoroso joined São Paulo Futebol Clube in the summer of 2005 and
immediately helped them to the Copa Libertadores de América, the
most prestigious club prize in South America. In January 2006,
after having won the FIFA Club World Championship, he returned
back to Italy, signing a 18-month contract for AC Milan as a
replacement for Christian Vieri, who had transferred to Monaco. |
