Grêmio Born in
Ijuí,
Rio Grande do Sul, of
Italian and
German descent. Mattioni joined
Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense in 2004, being promoted to the main squad three years later but failing to appear in the
Série A in
his first season. However, after performing well in the
Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-20 and appearing in the
Campeonato Gaúcho, he made his debut in the top division in a 2–0 home win against
Clube Náutico Capibaribe. On 15 January 2009,
A.C. Milan in Italy acquired Mattioni on loan, with the
Rossoneri having an option to buy the player at the end of
the campaign. He played his first match in a 2–2 friendly draw to
Rangers, but failed to make an impact due to leg injuries, his
Serie A input consisting of two minutes in a 2–0 away victory over
Calcio Catania on 3 May. In June 2009, Milan announced the club would not exercise the buying option on Mattioni. On 26 August,
RCD Mallorca signed him also on loan, from
Associação Maga Esporte Clube company, with a pre-set price of about €2 million. During
the season he battled for first-choice status with
Josemi, scoring from 40 meters in a 4–1 home win against
Atlético Madrid as the
Balearic Islands team eventually finished fifth and
qualified to the
UEFA Europa League (later revoked).
Espanyol In May 2010, Mallorca decided to sign Mattioni permanently for €2 million subject to the decision of the administrator of the club, which was undergoing severe financial difficulties. Finally the deal fell through, and he joined fellow
La Liga side
RCD Espanyol from Maga. Early into his spell in
Catalonia, Mattioni sustained a severe knee injury – left
anterior cruciate ligament – going on to miss the entire
2010–11 campaign. Shortly after recovering he suffered the same injury in his right leg, being initially ruled out for another six months and eventually nearly two years. Mattioni finally returned to action on 1 November 2012, appearing as a late
substitute in a 1–3 away loss against
Sevilla FC for the
round of 32 in the
Copa del Rey. His first league appearance came on 2 February of the following year, as he started and played the full 90 minutes in a 3–2 home defeat of
Levante UD.
Everton On 29 September 2015, Mattioni featured for
Premier League club
Everton's under-21 side, playing in a 3–1 win over
Norwich City. A month later, he signed a contract until the end of
the season but was immediately loaned out to
Doncaster Rovers of
League One. He made his debut for the latter on 7 November in
the first round of the
FA Cup, featuring the full 90 minutes of a 2–0 win over semi-professional
Stalybridge Celtic at the
Keepmoat Stadium.
Back to Brazil On 7 February 2017,
Boa Esporte Clube announced the signing of Mattioni until the end of
the season. He was injured in his third
Série B match, and did not regain his place in the team. Mattioni joined
Veranópolis Esporte Clube Recreativo e Cultural in October 2017, ahead of
the upcoming edition of the
Campeonato Gaúcho. The following April he agreed to a deal at
Esporte Clube Juventude of the second division, scoring in a 1–1 away draw against
Grêmio Esportivo Brasil as
the campaign ended in relegation. In December 2018,
free agent Mattioni moved to
Coritiba Foot Ball Club. ==References==
