Cristiano

Cristiano Robert do Amaral (born 31 August 2001), simply known as Cristiano, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward.

Career Born in Sorocaba, São Paulo, Cristiano played for hometown São Bento for the most of his youth career, before moving to Coritiba on loan in 2020. After playing for the under-20 and under-23 squads, he made his first team – and Série A – debut on 20 February 2021, coming on as a second-half substitute for Mattheus Oliveira in a 2–0 home loss to Ceará.

Back to São Bento in April 2021, Cristiano was loaned to Sport Recife in June, initially for the under-20s. He then played in nine top tier matches as the club suffered relegation, and had his loan extended on 2 February 2022.

On 11 January 2023, Cristiano was announced at Patrocinense, still owned by São Bento. He moved to ASA also in a temporary deal on 26 April, before returning to his parent club on 11 August, now as a first team member.

On 8 March 2024, Cristiano signed a new one-year deal with Bentão, but was loaned to Austrian Bundesliga side Austria Wien on 11 April. On 8 January of the following year, he was announced at São José-SP.

On 9 April 2025, Cristiano was loaned to Guarani, but had his loan cut short on 22 June, and moved to Porto Vitória. Back to São José for the 2026 season, he was loaned to Noroeste until the end of the Série D on 22 April of that year.

Upon returning to São José, Cristiano was included in the squad for the 2026 Copa Paulista, but was released by the club on 28 August, after playing in an amateur tournament.
