Career

edit

André Galiassi was born on 22 August 1980 in São Paulo, starting to play football at the junior squads of Corinthians where he was teammate with future Brazilian international Kléber.[1][2] He started his senior career playing for Brazilian teams in the regional championships like Roma Apucarana.[1][2] Afterwards he went to play abroad, firstly in the first two leagues from Paraguay at River Plate, General Caballero and Tacuary, then in Bolivia at Bolívar with whom he won the domestic league, also making appearances in continental competitions, including six in the group phase of the 2006 Copa Libertadores.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Galiassi and teammate Miguel Cuéllar were transferred from Bolívar to Romanian side CFR Cluj who firstly paid €100,000 for Galiassi's loan, shortly afterwards paying another €400,000 for his permanent transfer.[2][4][5][7][8] He made his Liga I debut on 24 February 2007 when coach Cristiano Bergodi introduced him at halftime to replace Romeo Surdu, managing to score a goal in the 63rd minute as CFR obtained a 1–1 against Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț.[1][7][9][10] In the following season, Galiassi helped CFR win for the first time in the club's history the championship and the cup, being used in 28 league matches by coach Ioan Andone who also used him the full 90 minutes in the 2–1 victory against Unirea Urziceni from the Cupa României final.[1][11][12][13] He then played five games for The Railway Men in the 2008–09 Champions League group stage, including a historical 2–1 victory on Stadio Olimpico against AS Roma and a 0–0 against Chelsea when he had an appreciated evolution in front of his direct opponent Didier Drogba, also by the end of the season he won another Cupa României with the club, but this time only being an unused substitute in the final.[1][2][14][15][16][17][18] After he impressed with how he played in the Champions League, clubs from Russia and Greece were interested to transfer him, also Swiss side Young Boys offered €100,000 for his loan, but eventually in July 2009 he was transferred by CFR for a fee of €500,000 to newly promoted Süper Lig side Kasımpaşa.[7][19] After only half of year spent in Turkey, Kasımpaşa loaned him back in Romania at Unirea Alba Iulia for a fee of €30,000, being wanted there by coach Adrian Falub.[20][21][22] André Galiassi ended his career at Concordia Chiajna where he made his last Liga I appearance on 22 October 2011 in a 1–0 away loss in front of Voința Sibiu, having a total of 85 games with four goals scored in the competition.[1][13][23]
