In the Juazeiro do Norte soccer club, he spell was from 1996 until 1999, when that club went through one of the most delicate moments of its history, including having to change his name to escape debts that could lead the team to declare bankruptcy. In 1999 Angelim came to Ceará to play at a traditional club from Fortaleza.
