Brazilian footballer
Ânderson Miguel da Silva (born 28 July 1983), known as Nenê , is a Brazilian
footballer who plays as a
striker for

AVS Futebol SAD .
After being crowned the Portuguese
Primeira Liga 's top scorer in
2009 , he went on to spend most of his professional career in Italy, representing several clubs.
Club career
Born in
São Paulo , Nenê began his career with modest Brazilian clubs, also having a spell at
Cruzeiro Esporte Clube ,
[2] then moved abroad to Portugal's
C.D. Nacional in July 2008. In his
first season in the
Primeira Liga he turned in stellar performances, leading the scoring charts with 20 goals (22 overall)
[3]
[4] by notably netting in home fixtures against
Sporting CP (1–1) and
S.L. Benfica (3–1 win),
[5] while also helping the
Madeira team to
reach the semi-finals of the
Taça de Portugal and
qualify for the
UEFA Europa League .
[6]
In June 2009, Nenê joined
Cagliari Calcio on a four-year contract for about
€ 4.5 million, with the player reported to be earning approximately €450,000 per season.
[7] He spent his
debut campaign in the Italian
Serie A alternating between the starting XI and the
substitutes bench , but still scored eight goals – second-best in the squad – as the
Sardinia club narrowly avoided relegation.
[8]
Nenê scored a
hat-trick in a 3–0 home win over
Calcio Catania on 12 December 2010.
[9] In July 2013, aged 30, he renewed his contract for another year.
[10]
On 25 July 2014, after five seasons and an average of less than five league goals, the
free agent Nenê signed for fellow top-tier side
Hellas Verona FC .
[11] Late into the following January
transfer window he was loaned to
Spezia Calcio of
Serie B ,
[12] with the move being made permanent in the summer. He remained at the
Stadio Alberto Picco until July 2017, when he joined
A.S. Bari in the same division.
[13]
Nenê returned to Portugal's top flight on 8 August 2018 after eight years away, agreeing to a one-year deal at
Moreirense F.C. with the option of a further campaign.
[14] The following March, this clause was activated.
[15]
Nenê then took his game to the
Liga Portugal 2 , continuing to score at an excellent rate for
Leixões S.C.
[16] and
U.D. Vilafranquense (renamed
AVS Futebol SAD in 2023 following a
merger ).
