Emilson Sanchez Cribari
(born 6 March 1980) is a Brazilian
footballer
who played as a
centre back
.
Career
[
edit
]
Cribari started his career in his home state of
Parana
, with
Londrina Esporte Clube
. From Londrina, he moved to Italy where he began his
Serie A
career with
Empoli
and
Udinese
.
[1]
Cribari was signed by Udinese along with
Antonio Di Natale
and
Manuel Belleri
. Cribari joined Lazio in 2005 from
Udinese
in temporary deal. In 2006, Lazio signed him outright for €3 million.
[2]
In his first two seasons, he established himself as a regular in the Biancoceleste defence, and gained a reputation as a quality and uncompromising player. Cribari was a key man in Lazio's successful season in 2006?07, when they achieved a third-place finish to qualify for the Champions League.
He fractured his jaw and cheekbone in Lazio's
UEFA Champions League
clash with
Dinamo Bucharest
and was initially ruled out for over two months, but managed to return for Lazio's second leg win only two weeks later. However, his recent form since returning from the injury has been poor, and not of the high standards he set during his first seasons at the club.
[3]
In January 2010,
AC Siena
signed the Brazilian central defender from
SS Lazio
until the end of the season 2009/2010.
[4]
In the first match for Siena, he got a red card.
On 31 August 2010, Cribari signed a deal with
S.S.C. Napoli
, leaving Lazio for €500,000.
[5]
On 8 July 2011, after his contract with Napoli expired, Cribari agreed a one-year deal with Brazilian club
Cruzeiro
.
[6]
Cribari trained with Rangers with a view to signing on 6 August 2012. The next day it was confirmed he had agreed terms with the club, penning a two-year deal with the option of a third. Emilson stated "The club is famous in my country because it has such a strong history so it was an easy decision for me. Rangers are without doubt the greatest club in Scottish Football, look at their list of honours".
[7]
Cribari made his Rangers debut on 18 August 2012, as a substitute at home to
East Stirlingshire
.
[8]
Cribari went on to help Rangers win the
Third Division
league title on 30 March 2013. His appearances the following season were limited to single figures and Cribari left the club upon the expiration of his contract.
