==Club career==

===Early career===
Amauri was trained at [[Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras|Palmeiras]],<ref name=larepubblica/> the club of his place of birth, [[São Paulo (state)|São Paulo state]], but failed to impress. At the age of 19, he went to [[Santa Catarina (state)|Santa Catarina state]] to work<ref name=Sky/> and played for a local club [[Santa Catarina Clube|Santa Catarina]] at [[Campeonato Catarinense Série B|Santa Catarina State League 2nd Division]].

===Parma and loans===
After half a season in the Swiss [[Swiss Challenge League|Nationalliga B]] and Nationalliga A/B playoffs, Amauri played for [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]] in 2000–01 due to the abolishment of the non-EU quota.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=ita/news/newsid=28321.html|title=Italians bar non-EU imports|date=17 July 2002|access-date=9 March 2010|publisher=UEFA|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171109195657/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=ita/news/newsid=28321.html|archive-date=9 November 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> In a [[Lega Nazionale Professionisti]] record, Amauri joined Parma from Napoli in summer 2001 on free transfer, but Parma also paid Harold McKenzie $3.5 million, apparently the "true owner" of Amauri's playing rights.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.repubblica.it/economia/finanza/2012/02/28/news/parmalat_undici_calciatori_indagati_per_bancarotta-30628288/|title=Parmalat, anche undici calciatori indagati per la bancarotta|date=28 February 2012|access-date=3 November 2013|work=La Repubblica|language=it|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131104100401/http://www.repubblica.it/economia/finanza/2012/02/28/news/parmalat_undici_calciatori_indagati_per_bancarotta-30628288/|archive-date=4 November 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> Officials from Parma also argued that Amauri was Parma-owned player since 2000, but that he was loaned to Napoli in 2001<ref>{{cite news|url=http://parma.repubblica.it/dettaglio/nuova-imputazione-per-tanzi-amauri-e-crespo-in-procura/1853259|title=Nuova imputazione per Tanzi Amauri e Crespo in Procura|date=8 February 2010|access-date=3 November 2013|work=La Repubblica|language=it|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131104093520/http://parma.repubblica.it/dettaglio/nuova-imputazione-per-tanzi-amauri-e-crespo-in-procura/1853259|archive-date=4 November 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> in order to register the player. This was made public in the hearing of Caso Parmalat in 2010.

Amauri made his [[Serie A]] debut on 14 April 2001 in a league match against [[A.S. Bari|Bari]]. He played as one of the starting XI and was replaced by [[Francesco Moriero]] in the 69th minute. He then played for [[Piacenza Calcio|Piacenza]] in Serie A for the [[2001–02 Serie A|2001–02 season]] (on loan from Parma, alongside [[Matuzalém]]),<ref>{{cite news|url=http://archiviostorico.gazzetta.it/2002/maggio/20/Liverpool_caccia_Rui_Costa_ga_0_0205206421.shtml|title=Liverpool a caccia di Rui Costa|date=20 May 2002|access-date=1 September 2009|publisher=La Gazzetta dello Sport|language=it|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160116035317/http://archiviostorico.gazzetta.it/2002/maggio/20/Liverpool_caccia_Rui_Costa_ga_0_0205206421.shtml|archive-date=16 January 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> and for [[F.C.

Amauri made his Messina club debut on 21 September 2002 in a 3–3 draw with [[Calcio Catania|Catania]]; he replaced [[Emanuele Calaiò]] in the 76th minute.

===Chievo===
In mid-2003, Amauri joined [[A.C. Chievo Verona|Chievo]] on a co-ownership deal, with [[Simone Barone]]'s loan becoming permanent. With [[Sergio Pellissier]] and [[Federico Cossato]], Amauri first played as a backup then as a second-striker. In June 2005, Chievo bought the remaining 50% of Amauri's registration rights from Parma. During his time with Chievo—particularly during the [[2005–06 Serie A|2005–06 season]], which ended in qualification to the preliminary phase of the [[UEFA Champions League]] (also favoured by the [[2006 Serie A scandal]])—Amauri showed most of his potential, becoming one of the key players of the team.

===Palermo===
On 31 August 2006, the last day of the 2006 summer transfer period, Amauri was sold to [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]]<ref>{{cite news|url=http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/uefacup/news/kind=1/newsid=451650.html |title=Palermo plumping for Amauri |date=31 August 2006 |access-date=7 May 2010 |publisher=UEFA |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160117120328/http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/uefacup/news/kind%3D1/newsid%3D451650.html |archive-date=17 January 2016 }}</ref> for €7 million cash plus [[Denis Godeas]] (valued at €700,000)<ref>US Città di Palermo Report and Accounts on 30 June 2007 {{in lang|it}}</ref> after having scored two goals in the return match of the third qualifying round against [[PFC Levski Sofia|Levski Sofia]]. Palermo had not had a prolific centre-forward since the departure of [[Luca Toni]] in 2005, and were in search for a viable partner for [[David Di Michele]], as [[Andrea Caracciolo]] and [[Stephen Makinwa]] were not making a significant impact.

Immediately after his debut with Palermo, Amauri became a fan favourite and a key player for the ''Rosanero'', scoring eight goals in 18 league matches until December 2006. However, a serious knee injury in a league match against [[A.C. Siena|Siena]] prevented him from playing for seven months.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/clubfootball/news/newsid=108967.html|title=Injury blow for Palermo striker Amauri|date=27 December 2006|agency=[[Agence France-Presse]]|access-date=24 August 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121110065450/http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/clubfootball/news/newsid=108967.html|archive-date=10 November 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> He recovered in time for the start of the [[2007–08 Serie A|2007–08 season]], immediately featuring in the starting lineup for Palermo's first league match against [[A.S. Roma|Roma]]. He scored his first goal in the new season in the next match, a 4–2 away win to [[A.S. Livorno Calcio|Livorno]].

===Juventus, Parma and Fiorentina===
On 30 May 2008, Amauri completed a €22.8 million move to [[Juventus FC|Juventus]],<ref name=fee>{{cite news|url=http://www.juventus.com/site/filesite/finance/comunicatipricesensitive/comunicato_30052008_amauri_eng.pdf|title=Agreement with U.S. Città di Palermo S.p.A.|date=30 May 2008|access-date=24 August 2009|publisher=Juventus FC|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081126235141/http://www.juventus.com/site/filesite/finance/comunicatipricesensitive/comunicato_30052008_amauri_eng.pdf|archive-date=26 November 2008|url-status=live}}</ref> in which part of the fee was paid via player transfer ([[Antonio Nocerino]], tagged for €7.5 million<ref name=fee/> and half of the registration rights to [[Davide Lanzafame]], tagged at €2.5 million).<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.juventus.com/site/filesite/finance/comunicatipricesensitive/comunicato_01072008_lanzafame_eng.pdf|title=Agreement with U.S. Città di Palermo S.p.A.|date=1 July 2008|access-date=24 August 2009|publisher=Juventus FC|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081126002322/http://www.juventus.com/site/filesite/finance/comunicatipricesensitive/comunicato_01072008_lanzafame_eng.pdf|archive-date=26 November 2008|url-status=live}}</ref>

Towards the end of 2008, Amauri began to play more regularly under [[Claudio Ranieri]] and ended the year with 11 Serie A goals, the second-highest goal-total for Juventus.

Amauri chose the number 11 jersey for the [[2009–10 Juventus FC season|2009–10 season]] while his former number 8 went to midfielder [[Claudio Marchisio]]. The season turned out to be a disaster, as it coincided with his goal droughts and a Juve squad decimated by injuries.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.tribalfootball.com/juventus-striker-amauri-mixed-emotions-breaking-scoring-drought-386801 |publisher=Tribal Football |access-date=7 February 2010 |date=18 October 2009 |title=Juventus striker Amauri mixed emotions breaking scoring drought |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091024014438/http://www.tribalfootball.com/juventus-striker-amauri-mixed-emotions-breaking-scoring-drought-386801 |archive-date=24 October 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.lastampa.it/sport/cmsSezioni/quijuve/201002articoli/25112girata.asp |work=La Stampa |language=it |access-date=7 February 2010 |date=7 February 2010 |title="Filippini non-può segnare di testa" Zaccheroni incredulo a fine partita |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100210042511/http://www.lastampa.it/sport/cmsSezioni/quijuve/201002articoli/25112girata.asp |archive-date=10 February 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref> He came under much criticism from fans for his yield of only six goals in 30 matches.

On 30 June 2010, due to irregularities of his transfer to Juventus and Palermo and [[Third-party ownership in association football|third-party ownership]], Amauri was fined along with his agents and numbers of staff of Juventus, Palermo and Chievo.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.figc.it/Assets/contentresources_2/ContenutoGenerico/58.$plit/C_2_ContenutoGenerico_25216_StrilloComunicatoUfficiale_lstAllegati_Allegato_0_upfAllegato.pdf|title=Comunicato n° 099 Commissione Disciplinare Nazionale|date=30 June 2010|access-date=1 July 2010|work=FIGC|language=it|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120819224314/http://www.figc.it/Assets/contentresources_2/ContenutoGenerico/58.$plit/C_2_ContenutoGenerico_25216_StrilloComunicatoUfficiale_lstAllegati_Allegato_0_upfAllegato.pdf|archive-date=19 August 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2010/06/30/2003175/juventus-fined-over-amauri-transfer-irregularities-report|title=Juventus Fined Over Amauri Transfer Irregularities - Report|date=30 June 2010|access-date=1 July 2010|first=Salvatore|last=Landolina|publisher=Goal.com| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100702080658/http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2010/06/30/2003175/juventus-fined-over-amauri-transfer-irregularities-report| archive-date= 2 July 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref> It involved the irregularity of agents Stanislao Grimaldi and his son Mariano (representing both Amauri and Chievo at the same time, thus a conflict of interest), verbal agreement of Amauri with Palermo to waive some bonus of the 2007–08 season as part of the transfer; requesting Chievo to pay the agent 8% of the future transfer fee and requesting Palermo to pay €2 million in the transfer to Juventus.

The [[2010–11 Juventus FC season|2010–11 season]] started well for Amauri, as he scored a brace in the [[UEFA Europa League]] qualifying rounds against [[Shamrock Rovers F.C.|Shamrock Rovers]]. After that, however, he was benched for most games under new manager [[Luigi Delneri]].

On 31 January 2011, Amauri joined former club Parma on loan until 30 June 2011.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.juventus.com/site/eng/NEWS_newsseriea_CC06123F5ACF49EC813AA2A7893CD0C9.asp |publisher=Juventus.com |access-date=31 January 2011 |date=31 January 2011 |title=Amauri joins Parma on loan |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110206052835/http://www.juventus.com/site/eng/NEWS_newsseriea_CC06123F5ACF49EC813AA2A7893CD0C9.asp |archive-date=6 February 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref> He enjoyed an excellent few months at the club, scoring seven times in 11 games and playing a significant role in Parma securing their place in Serie A for another year, as he formed an attacking tandem with former Juve teammate [[Sebastian Giovinco]].

Amauri returned to Juventus after his loan deal expired. Despite much talk that he was to be "offloaded", no concrete deal was ever made. However, Juventus write-down the residual value of Amauri's contract (which last until 30 June 2012) backdated to 2010–11 financial year, which worth €5.348 million on 30 June 2011 (~25% of €22.8million).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.juventus.com/wps/wcm/connect/94906bc6-df85-454e-9aaf-c1d5402de699/Relazione+finanziaria+annuale+al+30+giugno+2011+deposito.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CACHEID=94906bc6-df85-454e-9aaf-c1d5402de699|title=Progetto di bilancio al 30 giugno 2011|trans-title=Draft Financial Statement on 30 June 2011|access-date=26 September 2011|work=Juventus FC|language=it}}{{Dead link|date=September 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Juventus also wrote in the official translated press release that "unnamed" player "will be free from any obligation vis-à-vis Juventus commencing from January 2012, and who is no longer included in the new technical programme".<ref name=disp/><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.juventus.com/wps/wcm/connect/6a31423b-fa0e-4c6a-bc9b-070275b9977d/comunicato+16092011+progettobilancio+eng.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CACHEID=6a31423b-fa0e-4c6a-bc9b-070275b9977d|title=The Board of Directors approves draft financial statements as of 30 June 2011 and calls the ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meeting|date=16 September 2011|access-date=19 October 2011|work=Juventus FC}}{{Dead link|date=September 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> He remained in the squad for the [[2011–12 Juventus FC season|2011–12 season]] under manager [[Antonio Conte]], but did not receive any call-ups.

==International career==
Following his impressive performances when at Palermo, Amauri was suggested to be a potential call-up of the then [[Italy national football team|Italy]] coach [[Roberto Donadoni]], who stated he might be interested in calling him to the Italian squad.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lastampa.it/sport/cmsSezioni/calcio/200610articoli/4476girata.asp|title=L'oriundo Amauri tra Italia e Brasile|access-date=31 October 2006|work=La Stampa|language=it |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071022183524/http://lastampa.it/sport/cmsSezioni/calcio/200610articoli/4476girata.asp |archive-date = 22 October 2007}}</ref> Amauri, who has not appeared at international level for [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], would have been indeed eligible in the future to play for the Italian national team<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/federation/01/24/fifastatuten2009_e.pdf |title=FIFA Status (2009 Edition): REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE APPLICATION OF THE STATUTES Article 17 |access-date=24 August 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090823155308/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/federation/01/24/fifastatuten2009_e.pdf |archive-date=23 August 2009}}</ref> because he was eligible to acquire [[Italian nationality law|Italian nationality]] by marriage to a Brazilian–Italian woman. According to Italian law, however, Amauri was forced to wait for at least one year from the day of the proclamation of his wife as an Italian citizen, which did not happen before April 2009.

On 31 January 2009, Brazilian coach [[Dunga]] selected Amauri, who was still ineligible to play for Italy at the time, as a replacement for injured striker [[Luís Fabiano]] in an international friendly ironically against Italy.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/86/italy/2009/01/31/1086966/amauri-picked-for-brazil-azzurri-dream-over|title=Amauri Picked For Brazil, Azzurri Dream Over|publisher=Goal.com|date=31 January 2009|access-date=24 August 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090917045724/http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/86/italy/2009/01/31/1086966/amauri-picked-for-brazil-azzurri-dream-over|archive-date=17 September 2009|url-status=live}}</ref> A few hours later, however, in the aftermath of a Juventus league game on the same day, Juventus Chairman [[Giovanni Cobolli Gigli]] stated the club's intention not to allow the player to respond to Brazil's call-up.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.juventus.com/site/eng/NEWS_newsseriea_68A24DA2EC354775A57E3407503EC508.asp|title=Cobolli Gigli : "Amauri will not answer to the international call-up.

In November 2009, Amauri himself confirmed his decision to play for Italy instead of Brazil following remarks by Italian striker [[Giampaolo Pazzini]], who was critical about the possibility of having a non-Italian-born player within the ''Azzurri'' squad.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/news?slug=goal-idecidedtoplayforitalyayear&prov=goal&type=lgns|title=I Decided To Play For Italy A Year Ago – Juventus Striker Amauri|publisher=Yahoo!

On 6 August 2010, Amauri received his first call-up for the Italian national team as part of the squad announced by new head coach [[Cesare Prandelli]] for a friendly match against [[Ivory Coast national football team|Ivory Coast]], the first match after the 2010 World Cup.<ref>{{cite news|publisher=FIFA |access-date=6 August 2010 |date=6 August 2010 |title=Italy turn to Balotelli, Cassano |url=https://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/news/newsid=1282049.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100823131241/http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/news/newsid%3D1282049.html |archive-date=23 August 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> On 10 August, he started the match alongside fellow debutant [[Mario Balotelli]], and [[Antonio Cassano]], the latter making his first appearance in two years, in a new-look line-up.

==Style of play==
Amauri has been described as a physically strong player with good technique, who excels in the air, and who is capable of taking advantage of chances and finishing well in the penalty area. He is a hardworking and opportunistic player, who is known for his offensive movement and ability to score goals or create space for teammates. Although he is usually deployed in the [[Centre-forward|centre]] as a main [[Striker (association football)|striker]], he is also capable of playing off of another [[Forward (association football)|forward]] as a [[second striker]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tuttojuve.com/calciomercato/beretta-amauri-giocatore-perfetto-per-i-viola-79461|title=Beretta: "Amauri giocatore perfetto per i viola"|publisher=Tutto Juve|language=it|access-date=13 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141218144524/http://www.tuttojuve.com/calciomercato/beretta-amauri-giocatore-perfetto-per-i-viola-79461|archive-date=18 December 2014|url-status=live}}</ref>
