Playing career

Club

Ramon was born in Contagem, Minas Gerais, and finished his formation with Cruzeiro. He started to feature for the first team in the 1989 season, being regularly used in the following year but later falling down the pecking order.

In 1993 Ramon joined Bahia, but also featured sparingly. He moved to state rivals Vitória in the following year, becoming an immediate starter and scoring a career-best 25 goals in the 1995 Campeonato Baiano.

After impressing for Vitória, Ramon moved abroad and joined Bundesliga side Bayer 04 Leverkusen. He returned to his home country in 1996, signing for Vasco da Gama, and was an important unit in the club's winning run, as he lifted the 1997 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the 1998 Campeonato Carioca, the 1998 Copa Libertadores and the 1999 Torneio Rio – São Paulo.

In 2000, Ramon moved to Atlético Mineiro and scored the goal of the title of the year's Campeonato Mineiro. He subsequently agreed to a loan deal with Fluminense in the following year,[1] being notably recognised by his free kick goals.

Ramon then returned to Atlético before rejoining Vasco in 2002, where he scored 15 goals in 17 league appearances to help the side avoid relegation. On 3 January 2003, he left the latter club and joined Tokyo Verdy on a 11-month contract.[2]

Ramon returned to Flu in 2004, but struggled with injuries,[3] and subsequently moved to Botafogo on a one-year deal.[4] He rejoined Vasco for a third spell in January 2006,[5] and a move to Qatar Stars League side Al-Gharafa SC subsequently followed.

Ramon signed for Atlético Paranaense on 9 January 2007,[6] but featured sparingly. On 25 February of the following year, he returned to Vitória,[7] but left the club in the end of the season to play in Turkish football; after playing just friendlies, he rejoined Vitória in March 2009.[8] He left the club in December 2010, after suffering relegation.

On 3 January 2011, 38-year-old Ramon agreed to a contract with Joinville,[9] being a regular starter during the season as his side achieved promotion from the Série C. However, in the following campaign, he only appeared rarely, which prompted to a move to Caxias in October 2012.[10]

On 15 February 2013, at the age of 40, Ramon was presented at Cabofriense.[11] After playing in the Campeonato Carioca Série B, he retired.

International

Called up to the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup by manager Émerson Leão,[12] Ramon made his full international debut for Brazil on 31 May of that year, starting and assisting Carlos Miguel in a 2–0 win against Cameroon.[13] He scored his first goal on 7 June, netting his side's only in a 2–1 defeat to France.[14]

Managerial career

Shortly after retiring, Ramon started working at his former club Joinville as an assistant manager. He left the club in January 2015,[15] and was named in charge of ASEEV in August;[16] at the latter club, he won the third division of the Campeonato Goiano.

In 2016, Ramon coached Anápolis, after agreeing to a deal with the club in July of the previous year.[17] He was sacked in February, after just five matches, and subsequently managed Guarani-MG[18] before returning to JEC in September,[19] now being appointed manager. He left the club in December, after failing to avoid relegation.

In May 2017, Ramon returned to Anápolis for the Série D, replacing Waldemar Lemos. He was dismissed in the following month, after four winless matches.[20]

On 23 November 2017, Ramon was appointed manager of Tombense for the ensuing campaign.[21] He was relieved from his duties the following 16 July, after six winless matches.[22]

On 27 December 2018, Ramon rejoined another club he represented as a player, Vasco, as an assistant manager.[23] On 30 March 2020, he replaced sacked Abel Braga at the helm of the main squad.[24]

Ramon was himself dismissed on 8 October 2020, after six winless matches.[25] On 9 November, he replaced departing Marcelo Cabo at the helm of CRB,[26] but was sacked after just nine matches on 17 December.
