Suwon FC announced the recruitment of Andrigo from Jeonbuk Hyundai.
Suwon FC announced on the 11th that it had signed Andrigo, who played in FC Anyang and Jeonbuk, and marked the last point in the picture for a rebound in the second half. The addition of Andrigo, a proven foreign resource in the K-League, is expected to further boost Suwon FC's power. Andrigo's number is 15.
Andrigo started his professional career with SC Inter in Brazil. Since then, he has played in Anyang and Jeonbuk since 2022, scoring 16 points and 14 assists in 64 K-League games. In particular, he showed impressive performance by scoring 13 goals and 12 assists in two seasons during his time in Anyang.
Amid a series of love calls from domestic and foreign teams, he moved to Chengdu, a Chinese Super League led by head coach Seo Jung-won. He also played well in China, but was pushed out of the main position due to injuries and sluggishness in 2024. The courtship of K-League teams continued. Initially, he was likely to go to Pohang, but Jeonbuk, which was moving around in the lower ranks at the time, succeeded in hijacking at the last minute. Andrigo played in 15 games and scored three goals and two assists in the confidence of former coach Kim Doo-hyun, who was a coach in Chengdu.
However, in the 2025 season when Gus Foyet was newly appointed, Andrigo lost ground. He played only two games. Andrigo wanted to keep playing in the K League.
Andrigo is an all-weather playmaker that can play left and right sides and even central attacking midfielders. Andrigo, who has aggressive advantages such as accurate kicks, flexible dribbles, and sharp shooting ability near the box, is a player who has strength in reading the flow of the game and creating chances through forward passes.
Suwon FC expects Andrigo to maximize the synergy of the offense through a combination with Willian, Ahn Hyun-beom and Han Chan-hee, who were recruited in the summer.
Andrigo added "Suwon City was promoted from Suwon-eup to the city on August 15, 1949. It was the day when Suwon City, the largest basic local government in the country, took its first stepHe explained the background of deciding the uniform number, saying, "'I chose No. 15 to honor this and to be with Suwon citizens.'"
Suwon FC, led by head coach Kim Eun-joong, plans to start the steps toward a rebound through summer reinforcement, including Andrigo.
