'''Djalma Feitosa Dias''' (born 9 December 1970), known as '''Djalminha''' {{IPA|pt|diʒawˈmĩɲɐ|}}, is a Brazilian football [[pundit]] and retired professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as an [[attacking midfielder]].

Blessed with superb skill and technical ability but possessing a troublesome character, he represented among others [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]], [[Palmeiras]] and [[Deportivo de La Coruña]], and was also a [[Brazil national football team|Brazil international]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.20minutos.es/quefuede/2008/05/07/quao-fue-de-djalminha/|title=Qué fue de… Djalminha|trans-title=What happened to… Djalminha|work=[[20 minutos]]|language=es|date=7 May 2008|access-date=12 April 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.riazor.org/una-leyenda-en-cinco-instantes-djalminha/|title=Una leyenda en cinco instantes: Djalminha|trans-title=Five snapshots of a legend: Djalminha|work=Riazor|language=es|date=11 July 2012|access-date=12 April 2016}}</ref>

==Club career==
===Brazil===
Son of former footballer [[Djalma Dias]], Djalminha (''Little Djalma'') was born in [[Santos, São Paulo]], while his father was playing for [[Santos FC|Santos]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tardesdepacaembu.wordpress.com/2013/01/12/djalma-dias-o-craque-sem-copa/|title=Djalma Dias… o craque sem copa|trans-title=Djalma Dias… the star without a cup|work=Tardes de Pacaembu|language=pt|date=12 January 2013|access-date=24 June 2015}}</ref> He started his career at [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]], based in [[Rio de Janeiro]].

Afterwards, Djalminha played for [[Guarani Futebol Clube|Guarani]] (being briefly loaned, in 1994, to [[Shimizu S-Pulse]] in Japan) and then [[Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras|Palmeiras]], where he received the ''[[Bola de Ouro]]'' (Brazilian Golden Ball) award in 1996.

===Deportivo de La Coruña===
In July 1997, Djalminha joined Spanish club [[Deportivo de La Coruña]], where he scored 26 [[La Liga]] goals in 87 appearances in his first three seasons there, playing a significant role in the club's first (and, to date, only) [[La Liga]] conquest in [[1999–2000 La Liga|1999–2000]]. After that, however, the emergence of [[Juan Carlos Valerón]], signed upon [[Atlético Madrid]]'s relegation,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://elpais.com/diario/2001/10/26/deportes/1004047204_850215.html|title=Djalminha exige la titularidad|trans-title=Djalminha demands to start|work=[[El País]]|language=es|date=26 October 2001|access-date=12 April 2016 |last1=Torres |first1=Diego }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2003/11/10/mas_futbol/1068418804_850215.html|title=Djalminha volvió para demostrar que Valerón tiene sustituto|trans-title=Djalminha returned to show Valerón is replaceable|work=[[Diario AS]]|language=es|date=10 November 2003|access-date=12 April 2016}}</ref> meant less playing time for Djalminha. This was followed by a May 2002 heated confrontation during training with ''Depor'' manager [[Javier Irureta]],<ref>[http://www.elmundo.es/2002/05/02/deportes/1138061.html Djalminha da un cabezazo a Irureta y se gana el despido (Djalminha headbutts Irureta and earns dismissal)]; [[El Mundo (Spain)|El Mundo]], 2 May 2002 {{in lang|es}}</ref> prompted his loan to [[Austrian Football Bundesliga]] side [[FK Austria Wien]] in the summer of 2002.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/025e-0f90756cca4a-88e37ab472ac-1000--wien-capture-brazilian-duo/|title=Wien capture Brazilian duo|publisher=UEFA|date=31 August 2002|access-date=7 June 2011}}</ref>

After just 11 appearances for Deportivo in the [[2003–04 La Liga|2003–04 campaign]], Djalminha finished his career with Mexico's [[Club América]], retiring at 34.

===Indoor football===
In 2008, Djalminha returned to ''Depor'', joining its [[indoor soccer|indoor football]] team alongside club greats [[Donato (footballer)|Donato]], [[Fran (footballer, born 1969)|Fran]], [[Noureddine Naybet]] and [[Jacques Songo'o]].<ref>[http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2009/03/13/mas_futbol/1236898853_850215.html Deportivo 11 Valencia 11]; Diario AS, 13 March 2009 {{in lang|es}}</ref><ref>[http://www.defensacentral.com/madridismo/41534-ftbol-indoor-deportivo-djalminha-fran-amavisca-alfonso/ Djalminha y Fran destrozan al Madrid (Djalminha and Fran destroy Madrid)]; Defensa Central, 29 January 2010 {{in lang|es}}</ref>

==International career==
The stiff competition in [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] in Djalminha's position of attacking midfielder, combined with his somewhat difficult temperament, limited him to just 14 full international [[Cap (sport)|caps]] in six years, the vast majority coming while at Deportivo. He was part of the squad that won the [[1997 Copa América]],<ref>[https://www.rsssf.org/tables/97safull.html Copa América 1997]; at [[Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|RSSSF]]</ref> and of the Brazil team that played in [[Le Tournoi]], also in 1997.

Djalminha was due to be called to the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]], but was finally not chosen by [[Luiz Felipe Scolari]] after his incident with Irureta days before the announcement of the final squad, losing his place to [[Kaká]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sportv.globo.com/site/SporTV-na-Copa/noticia/2014/05/djalminha-diz-que-falou-com-felipao-apos-cabecada-em-irureta-em-2002.html|title=Após briga na Espanha, Djalminha tentou se explicar para Felipão|trans-title=After fight in Spain, Djalminha tried to explain himself to Felipão|publisher=[[SporTV]]|language=pt|date=15 May 2014|access-date=24 June 2015}}</ref>
