Everton Giovanella
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography Everton Giovanella (born 13 September 1970) is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.
He spent most of his career in Spain – one decade – namely being an important part in Celta's La Liga and European consolidation.
Club career
Giovanella was born in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul. He started out with a modest club in his country, then signed for Série A's SC Internacional from Porto Alegre, where he won the 1992 Copa do Brasil.[1] In the middle of 1993 he emigrated to Portugal, spending one season each with Primeira Liga sides F.C. Tirsense,[2] G.D. Estoril Praia and C.F. Os Belenenses.[3]
For the 1996–97 campaign Giovanella moved to Spain, first achieving La Liga promotion with UD Salamanca[4] then joining RC Celta de Vigo.[5] At both teams, he reunited with his former Belenenses teammate Catanha[6] and, with the Galicians, played an important role in their domestic and European exploits,[5] but also unluckily injured Deportivo de La Coruña's Manuel Pablo in a derby on 30 September 2001.[7]
In December 2004 (sanction ratified in September 2005), Giovanella was banned from football for two years after testing positive for nandrolone.[8] He returned to football on 10 November 2007, teaming up for Coruxo FC in the Tercera División.[9][10]
Giovanella rejoined his first senior club Clube Esportivo Lajeadense in the 2008 off-season, as its director of football. In the following year he returned to Celta, being appointed scout in Brazil.[11]
