On Wednesday, São Paulo used its social media to pay tribute to one of the great names in its history: the former midfielder Pintado, who turns 60 years old. Known for his grit and commitment on the field, the former player made his mark at Tricolor and was part of a victorious generation.
Wearing the São Paulo jersey, Pintado was a two-time Copa Libertadores champion, in 1992 and 1993, and lifted the 1992 Club World Cup trophy against Barcelona. In addition, he also won two Paulista titles, in 1985 and 1992.
The former midfielder had two spells as a player at São Paulo and established himself as a symbol of dedication. His fierce attitude on the pitch made him one of the most remembered players by Tricolor fans when it comes to grit and commitment.
In the post, the club highlighted: “Congratulations, Pintado! The world champion turns 60! A member of a historic Tricolor team, the midfielder was champion of the CONMEBOL Libertadores in 1992 and 1993, the World Cup in 1992, and the Paulista Championships in 1985 and 1992. Best wishes!”
Pintado also worked at São Paulo as a assistant coach between 2016 and 2017, even taking over as interim manager on two occasions, after Ricardo Gomes and Rogério Ceni left the team’s command.
