Having started his career as a central midfielder, he finished it as a central defender, at almost 41. Donato was a strong but technical player, who was able both to destroy the opposition's attacks and to help generate his own team's. Club career Born in Rio de Janeiro, Donato began his 23-year professional career with Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama in 1980, and played there for the following eight years, after which he joined Spain's Atlético Madrid, as one of the first signings of elusive chairman Jesús Gil. With the colchoneros, he won back-to-back Spanish Cups. Donato moved to Deportivo de La Coruña in 1993; alongside players like Bebeto, Mauro Silva, Miroslav Đukić and Fran, he was crucial to the team's firm establishment in both the league and European competitions, as he netted an impressive 18 league goals in his first two seasons combined (often from free kicks, one of his main assets). He continued to contribute heavily for the Galicians in the subsequent seasons, helping the club win two domestic cups, and the historical 1999-2000's national league (scoring three times in 29 contests). In 2002, Donato broke a 43-year old record, by becoming the oldest goalscorer in La Liga history. He also holds the record for the most matches played in the country's top level by a player born outside of Spain, with 466 in 15 seasons. Donato began his coaching career in Greece, as assistant manager at Aris Thessaloniki. International career After becoming a citizen of Spain in 1994, Donato was called to the national team, and earned 12 caps in a two-year span. His debut arrived on 16 November 1994, starting (and scoring) in an Euro 1996 qualifier against Denmark, at the Sánchez Pizjuán. Subsequently, he was called-up for the Spanish squad at the final stages.
