Biography
Julio Cesar Santos Correa (born November 17, 1978 in São Luís,
Maranhão, Brazil) is a Brazilian football player who plays in
defense. He is currently playing for Tigres UANL in Mexican
First Division.
He is not to be confused with two other Brazilian players also
named Julio Cesar, in particular with Julio Cesar da Silva who
played in the World Cup 1986 for Brazil.
Having started his career in 1996 with Real Valladolid, for whom
he continued playing for three years before being snapped up by
Real Madrid. He won the UEFA Champions League with Madrid in
2000, but he found himself on his way again at the end of the
season, first to A.C. Milan, then Real Sociedad, SL Benfica, and
FK Austria Wien.
Cesar made his way from Spain to the Premiership, and
immediately found form, debuting in a 4-1 victory over Charlton
Athletic.
However after the next game, a 2-0 defeat to Fulham, Cesar found
himself dropped from the starting line-up in favour of the
Tunisian international Radhi Jaidi.
The rest of the 2004-2005 season saw the player appear
intermittantly in the Bolton team but a broken foot sustained
against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Boxing Day did not
help his chances of re-gaining a regular first team berth.
