David Benedito Magalhães (born 14 June 1944), better known as Davi, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a right winger.
Career
[edit]David (later Davi as he became known), began his career in amateur football in the city of São Paulo, playing for Lapeaninho FC in the Lapa neighborhood. As a professional, he had his first chances playing for teams from the countryside of state, with XV de Jaú in 1959, Noroeste and Ferroviária. After standing out in the 1962 Campeonato Paulista, he was sold for a sumptuous sum to SC Corinthians, where he played from 1963 to 1965, making 55 appearances and scoring 9 goals.[1] Due to the pressure of the title drought at the Corinthians, he did not establish himself, heading to Rio Grande do Sul where he defended SC Internacional. Later Davi still defended Cruzeiro and Grêmio, until arriving at Santos in 1970.[2][3]
Davi also played for Londrina, Vitória, Portuguesa Santista and Saad, before retiring in 1976.[4][5]
International career
[edit]Davi was part of the Campeonato Gaúcho players squad that represented the Brazil national team in the 1966 Copa Bernardo O'Higgins.[6]
Personal life
[edit]Davi gained notoriety for marrying Maria Lúcia Nascimento, Pelé's sister, whom he met during his time at Santos FC. After retiring, he worked at COSIPA in the city of Cubatão, and as a property administrator.[4][5]
