Corinthians Idol

Considered an idol by the Fiel Torcida, Gil played 444 matches wearing the Corinthians jersey. He is, therefore, among the 15 players with the most appearances in the club's history. In addition, he is the second center-back who has defended Timão the most times in history.

During his time with the alvinegro team, he scored 19 goals and won three titles: the Paulista and the Recopa Sudamericana in 2023, and the Brasileirão in 2015.

Retirement

Gil announced his retirement from the pitch in mid-September this year, after terminating his contract with Santos. He played for Peixe for about a year and a half and helped the team return from Série B to the top tier of Brazilian football.
