Career
[edit]Trained in the children's categories of the extinct AC Joaçaba, Esnel started as a professional at Inter de Lages in 1951. In 1953 he arrived at Carlos Renaux where he achieved the great feat of becoming state champion,[1] which attracted the attention of Vicente Feola's São Paulo FC, who hired the team's cerebral central midfielder, alongside the striker Agenor.[2] He stayed at the club for a short time, but at Ponte Preta he established himself, playing for the club for more than 6 years. He also had a quick spell at Portuguesa[3] and was champion with the Brazilian national team in South American Access Championship in 1962.[4][5]
