Dos Santos was born in São João, Piauí.
Dos Santos scored his first goal for Guingamp, a penalty against Strasbourg.[1] He gained many admirers due to his versatile play exhibited with Grasshoppers playing opposite Richard Nuñez.
On 9 May 2009, dos Santos entered French football history by scoring both his team's goals in a 2–1 triumph in the Coupe de France final against Rennes, despite his side being a Ligue 2 club at the time.[2]
Dos Santos joined promoted Ligue 1 club Lens in July 2009 after agreeing to a three-year deal.[3]
After two stints with Ajaccio, dos Santos signed an eighteen-month contract with Ligue 2 club [[FC Metz]Metz]] in January 2014.[4]
Eduardo returned to Brazil in June 2014, after 13 years in Europe, signing for Ríver in his native state of Piauí.[5] In between spells with Ríver, he featured for Altos and Campinense in Campeonato Brasileiro Série C and, in 2019, for Treze in 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, where he was joint top scorer with eight goals.[6][7][8] He returned to Ríver for the 2020 season.[8]
Born in Brazil, dos Santos applied for Swiss citizenship in September 2006 after having lived in Switzerland for six years, thus enabling him to play for the Swiss national team.[9]
