César Rodrigues de Oliveira (born 28 February 1997), better known as Cesinha, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a Winger for Villa Nova-MG.
Club career
Born in São Paulo, Cesinha came through the youth ranks of União Suzano before joining Juventus-SP's youth categories in 2016, being loaned to Guaratinguetá the same year.[1] He then established himself with Juventus-SP's first team between 2017 and 2019, before moving to Osasco Sporting later in 2019.
While under contract with Oeste, Cesinha spent the 2020 season on loan, representing both Boa Esporte, in Minas Gerais, and EC Água Santa, continuing at the latter into 2021, where he finished as runner-up of the Campeonato Paulista Série A2.
Cesinha subsequently joined Portuguesa, with whom he won the 2022 Campeonato Paulista Série A2. In early 2023, he had a brief spell at Marcílio Dias in Santa Catarina, finishing runner-up in the Recopa Catarinense, before returning to São Paulo to sign for Juventus-SP for a second spell. He was loaned to Betim later that year, before returning to Juventus-SP, where he remained through the 2024 season and part of 2025.
In 2025, Cesinha moved on to spells with URT and Primavera. He began the 2026 season with a second stint at URT, before transferring to Tombense to compete in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série D, scoring twice on his first goalscoring appearance for the club in a 2–2 draw with Rio Branco-ES.[2] He later moved on to Villa Nova-MG later in the 2026 season.
