Riccieli is the latest reinforcement of Famalicão Football Club. The 20-year-old central defender has signed for five seasons and comes from Mirassol, where he has spent the last three years. The curriculum also includes the passage through Resende.

Speaking to the club's website, Riccieli said he was "happy to join a team that has projected several young people and will provide me with European football." The Brazilian is already part of the group that works at the orders of João Pedro Sousa.
