Evando was born in
Timóteo,
Minas Gerais, but represented
Vitória as a youth. He made his first team debut during the
1995 season in the
Série A, aged only 18. In January 1997, Evando moved abroad and joined Spanish
Segunda División side
Villarreal CF on loan until June. He made his debut abroad on 23 February by starting in a 3–1 home win against
CD Toledo, but only featured in three further matches before returning to his parent club. In 1998, Evando joined
Vitória de Guimarães of the
Primeira Liga on loan for one year. Upon returning, he spent a six-month spell at
Goiás also in a temporary deal before being bought outright by the Portuguese side in early 2000. Evandro rarely settled into a team in the following campaigns, being loaned to
Santa Cruz,
Portuguesa Santista and
Estrela Amadora before leaving Vitória in 2004 as his contract expired. He immediately returned to Brazil and signed for
Avaí. On 12 January 2005, after scoring nine goals in the previous campaign, Evando signed for
Santos, but left the club in May and joined
Ponte Preta. In December, he agreed to a deal with
Fluminense. Evando returned to Avaí for 2007, but soon moved abroad and joined
Al-Shamal. In the following year, he rejoined his previous club for a third spell, before moving back to Ponte in June 2009. He then represented
Mirassol and
Náutico before rejoining Avaí in February 2011. In 2012, after representing
Ituano and
Grêmio Barueri during the year, Evando retired at the age of 35 with his main club Avaí. ==Coaching career==
