Club career

edit

Hugo scored his first goal for Fiorentina in a Serie A match against Benevento on 11 March 2018, the only goal of the game, dedicating it to his club's recently deceased captain Davide Astori by saluting a T-shirt bearing Astori's image.[2]

On 5 October 2020, Hugo signed a four-year contract with Turkish club Trabzonspor.[3]

On January 21, 2024, Hugo arrived in Athens for his new club Panathinaikos. His decision to move to Greece was influenced a lot by the presence of coach Fatih Terim.

International career

edit

He was called up for the Brazil national team in January 2017 for a friendly against Colombia, but remained an unused substitute.[4]
