Football career

Tiago began his professional career at Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense, but never broke into the first team. Subsequently, he represented Ipatinga Futebol Clube and amateurs Estrela do Norte Futebol Clube in his homeland, moving to Portugal in 2006.

During his four-season spell in the country, Tiago played in three second division seasons, successively appearing for C.D. Feirense, G.D. Chaves, G.D. Estoril Praia and S.C. Freamunde. His best individual output came in 2009–10, when he scored four goals in 23 games for the latter club, helping the northerners to the 12th place.

Tiago joined PFC Cherno More Varna in Bulgaria on 27 May 2010, on a free transfer. He marked his top level debut with a goal, in a 2–1 win against PFC Pirin Blagoevgrad on 31 July; on 14 November he scored his second league goal of the season, opening the scoring in a 3–0 home victory over PFC Minyor Pernik.
