Club career
Born in Contagem, in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, Vitor Eudes started his career with local amateur side Frigoarnaldo, before being scouted by Cruzeiro's under-20 goalkeeping coach, Leonardo Lopes, and going on to sign with the club in 2016.[2] In 2018, having been named on the bench for Cruzeiro a number of times, he was subject to interest from Portuguese side Benfica, but would opt to remain with Cruzeiro, signing a new contract with the club.[2]
Having only made two appearances for Cruzeiro in four seasons, often being an unused substitute, Vitor Eudes cancelled his contract with the club and moved to Portugal in 2021, signing with Marítimo.[3] During his time in Portugal, he mostly featured for Marítimo's under-23 side.[2]
He returned to Brazil in January 2023, joining Série A side Fluminense on a free transfer.[4]
Style of play
Vitor Eudes is renowned for his penalty-saving ability, notably saving three penalties in the final of the 2017 edition of the Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-20 - a 7–6 penalty shoot-out win against Coritiba.[2] He has listed Fábio, another goalkeeper known for his ability to save penalties, as an inspiration to him.[5]
