João Carlos Gonçalves Filho (born 9 November 1983), known as Nenê, is a Brazilian futsal player who plays as a pivot.

Career

Born in São Paulo, Nenê arrived in European futsal at the hands of Sporting CP coach, Paulo Fernandes. He spent three years there, winning one league in his first year, and two Portuguese cups in the remaining two.[1]

In 2008, he left Sporting and moved to the Russian league, joining MFK CSKA Moscow, without winning any silverware. He then spent two years at Nacional Zagreb, winning both a league and a national cup.[1]

After one year in Belgium, at Action 21,[1] Paulo Fernandes, now at Benfica, brought him to the club on 28 July 2012.[2] In Lisbon, he only won one supercup over two seasons, so he was released on 19 June 2014, together with Joel Queirós and Marcão.[3] Afterwards, he played with Serbian club KMF Ekonomac Kragujevac, and Cypriot clube APOEL.
