Club career

Flamengo

Douglas Baggio began his career with Flamengo, joining the youth side in 2010.[1] Following his promising performances for the club in tournaments at under-17 level, which saw him score an impressive 72 goals in 2012, he was subsequently promoted to the senior team, and was also linked with several major European clubs in the media.[1][2][3][4] He made his debut for the senior team on 16 March 2014, in a 2–2 draw with Bangu.[1] In 2015, he signed a new contract extension with the club, which would see him remain with the team until 2017.[5][6]

Luverdense (First loan)

After struggling to find space in the Flamengo first team, in February 2016, Douglas Baggio was sent on loan to Série B side Luverdense in order to gain playing time.[1]

Ceará (loan)

On 22 December 2016 Ceará signed Douglas for a one-year loan until the end of 2017.[7]

Luverdense (Second loan)

After a brief loan spell with Ceará, Douglas returned to Luverdense on loan for a second time in 2017.[8]

Mirassol

In January 2018, after his contract with Flamengo had expired, Douglas Baggio was signed by Mirassol.[9]

Style of play

Regarded as a promising young striker, Douglas Baggio is known for his speed, technique, and eye for goal. His main influences as a footballer are Cristiano Ronaldo and Willian.[10]

Personal life

Douglas Baggio is named after Italian former footballer Roberto Baggio. In an interview, he explained the reason behind his name, commenting that his father, while watching the 1994 World Cup Final penalty shoot-out between Brazil and Italy, reportedly stated that if Italy's final penalty taker – Baggio – were to miss his kick, then he would name his son after him; Baggio kicked the ball over the bar, which resulted in Brazil winning the World Cup, and a year later, Douglas Baggio was born.[11]
