He earned one international cap for Brazil on 25 September 1980, against Paraguay.[3]

Robertinho became manager of Tunisian club Stade Tunisien for the second time in September 2007; he had previously coached Brazilian clubs Americano and Fluminense.[4]

In 2021 Robertinho's contract with Gor Mahia in Kenya was terminated as it was determined that he did not hold the required qualifications to coach at the top level in Africa by CAF.[5]

After time in Uganda with Vipers, in January 2023 he became manager of Tanzanian club Simba.[6] He was sacked in November 2023.[7][8]
