Ceará sign Alex Silva on a deal running until the end of 2026 | OneFootball

Ceará already has its first confirmed signing for the challenges of 2026. Right-back Alex Silva, 31, has agreed to join Vozão and will wear the black-and-white jersey with a permanent contract until the end of next season. The player arrives with the approval of coach Mozart, with whom he shares a recent history of success and achievements.

Track Record of Titles and Experience

Developed in the youth academy of Atlético Mineiro, Alex Silva was promoted to the professional team in 2014. In his debut year, he was part of the squad that won the Recopa Sudamericana and the Copa do Brasil. After his time with Galo, the right-back played for important clubs in Brazilian football, such as Sport, Goiás, and América Mineiro, where he won his first Série B title in 2017.

In addition to his national experience, Alex also has an international stint with Al-Merreikh in Sudan, and has played for teams like Avaí, Operário-PR, and Vila Nova, gaining the experience needed to lead Vozão’s defensive line.

Mozart’s “Trusted Man”

One of the main strengths of this signing is his rapport with the new black-and-white coach. Over the past two seasons, Alex Silva worked under Mozart at Mirassol and Coritiba. The result of this partnership couldn’t have been better: two consecutive promotions to Série A. At Coxa, the right-back even celebrated his second Série B championship, establishing himself as a specialist in promotion campaigns.

Presentation Schedule

The new signing of the “Mais Querido” will begin remote physical training this Friday, December 26, following the guidelines of the club’s performance department. The in-person presentation and the start of activities at the Porangabuçu training center are scheduled for January 2, 2026, when Alex will join the rest of the squad for preseason.
