Vinicius Pacheco

A professional football player from Brazil, Vinicius Pacheco dos Santos plays as a midfielder in the hole behind the strikers. Breaking into the first team at Flamengo in 2004, Vinicius came with a lot of promise but his time spent at Flamengo was short-lived. Even though Vinicius was under contract with Flamengo from 2004 to 2011, he spent most of his time away on loan, playing just 40-odd games for the club in over 7 seasons.

His first loan spell came in 2007, when he moved to Parana Clube and played 26 games for the side. In 2008, he was moving to Ipatinga Futebol Clube before moving to CF Belenenses in Portugal, later that same year.

22 games later, Vinicius ended his stint at the Portuguese club and returned to Brazil for the 2009 season, signing a loan deal with Figuirense for 14 games. The following season, he would return to Figuirense for another 9 games, before moving to Gremio on loan for 2011. However, before he could play a single game with Gremio, Vinicius was bought by Red Star Belgrade and played all of 2 games in 2011 and 2012.

He moved back to Brazil in 2012, signing with Clube Nautico Capibaribe and is looking for a regular playing spot in the first team.
