Anderson Cléber Beraldo (born 27 April 1980), simply known asAnderson, is a Brazilianfootball manager and former player.
Anderson started playing professional football forCorinthians ofSão Paulo. He played on the team for five consecutive seasons, moving to Portugal in the middle of his sixth season.
In the summer of 2005 he was bought byS.L. Benfica of thePrimeira Liga.[1] He made his Benfica debut in the2005 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira againstVitória de Setúbal on 13 August.[citation needed] Anderson would play alongsideLuisão and help his side claim their first Supertaça in sixteen years.[2][3] He would make his league debut on 20 August againstAcadémica de Coimbra at theEstádio Cidade de Coimbra in a goalless draw.[citation needed] He would score his first league goal for Benfica on 18 September in a league game at theEstádio da Luz in 4–0 victory overUnião de Leiria.[citation needed]
His first full season with Benfica saw him feature regularly in Benfica's starting eleven under the management ofRonald Koeman. He would play a pivotal role in Benfica's2005–06 UEFA Champions League campaign where they reached the quarter-final stage where they would end up eliminated byFC Barcelona.[citation needed] Despite Benfica's successful UEFA Champions League campaign, their league campaign would prove to be a disappointing one as they would finish behind rivalsPorto andSporting CP.[citation needed] Anderson would end his first season with forty one appearances with four goals scored.
The 2006–07 season would see a change of manager for Benfica as Ronald Koeman would be replaced byFernando Santos which changed the fortunes of Anderson's playing time. The arrival of Santos would see Anderson play less regularly. Under Fernando Santos, he would play nineteen league games in the entire season. Following the end of the season, he left Benfica for French sideLyon.[4]
Anderson signed for French side Lyon in a €4 million deal in the summer of 2007.[5][6] His three-year spell at Lyon would him featured very little. His time with Lyon would see him be loaned to Brazilian sidesSão Paulo andCruzeiro.[7] In late 2010, he terminated his contract with Lyon and returned to Brazil.[8]
In early 2011 he returned to Brazil withEsporte Clube Santo André. His stay would be short as he would move clubs again in the same season toAmérica Mineiro. His time with América Mineiro would see him be used primarily as a substitute. In 2012, he would leave América Mineiro forCampeonato Brasileiro Série B sideParaná in a quest to play more first team football.[9]
Anderson's first and only cap for theBrazil national team came on 27 April 2005 againstGuatemala as he was called up by then Brazilian managerCarlos Alberto Parreira.[10] He scored one of Brazil's goals in their 3–0 victory.
