Austria Wien signs Brazil’s Ex-U20 team player

The 22-year-old flexible offensive player Ewandro Costa will play for Austria Wien for one year, including a purchase option from ‘Serie-A’ club Udinese Calcio. "It's great that, with Ewandro, we have been able to sign a former Brazilian U20 team player. He was in great demand and we are happy and proud that he has chosen Austria Wien," emphasizes Ralf Muhr.

Ewandro was trained in the well-known academy of FC Sao Paulo. The Italian club Udinese Calcio was his first stop in Europe, where he made his debut in the Italian league ‘Serie A’ as a 20-year-old. In three games for the Brazilian U20 national team Ewandro scored three goals. He was also employed for the U17 selection of ‘Selecao’. During the spring of 2018 the Brazilian was loaned to Estoril Praia, where he was a regular in the first Portuguese league.

Technical Director Ralf Muhr, "Austria Wien stands for offensive football. Therefore, we are very happy that we could further strengthen our offensive power with Ewandro. He is a player with great perspective, which gives us additional flexibility."

Head coach Thomas Letsch, "We are glad that we were able to sign a young, technically well-versed, creative player with Ewandro. With him we have even more opportunities for our game, since he can play several positions in the offensive area. Now it's time to quickly integrate him into the team and give him an understanding of our game."

Ewandro, "I am very happy about the great opportunity to play for Austria Wien. I know that the club is a very big team in Austria and has a lot of tradition."

Why he chose Austria Wien instead of many other offers? "I really wanted to go to a club that can fight for titles," said the Brazilian. His first impressions of the Generali Arena? "The infrastructure is really impressive. I felt very comfortable here from the start. I think the stadium is very nice," says the offensive player.

The fact that Venuto and Igor, two Brazilians are already playing for Austria Wien helps him integrate into the team. "I already know Venuto personally, I played against him four years ago."
