Carlos César dos Santos (born 12 March 1980), known as Césinha, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Penapolense as a left winger.
Football career
Born in São Paulo, Césinha never played in higher than Série B in his country. In 2004, he moved abroad, joining S.C. Braga in Portugal, making his top division debut on 30 August by coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–2 away draw against Académica de Coimbra; in his first season he scored in both league matches with S.C. Beira-Mar, helping to a 4–1 away win and a 1–1 home draw respectively.
In the 2007 summer, Césinha was sold to Romanian side FC Rapid Bucureşti for €600,000. He netted a career-high five goals in his debut campaign, helping his team rank third in Liga I.
Released by Rapid in 2011 at the age of 31, Césinha went on to represent several clubs in quick succession before returning to his country after signing with lowly Brasiliense Futebol Clube.
