Carlos Germano Schwambach Neto (born August 14, 1970), better known as Carlos Germano, is a former Brazilian football goalkeeper. He was a member of the Brazilian squad for France 98 World Cup.

Career

He began his football career in 1985 in his native town, and was discovered by Vasco's manager who proposed that he join the youth team for a test. In the same year he became the first choice goalkeeper for the youth side.

In 1988, he was chosen as Brazil's goalkeeper in the South American under-20 championship.

When Vasco's senior goalkeeper Acácio left the club, Carlos Germano became the number 1 immediately. He went to receive all of the club honors and was chosen top goalkeeper of the Brazilian Championship in 1997.

In 1999 he had some disagreements with Vasco's chairman and left the club. He signed with Santos FC in 2000 for four years, but one year later the club couldn't pay the total amount of the contract and he obtained the right to a free transfer, moving to Portuguesa-SP. From then on, he signed one year contracts with different clubs, including his first club (Vasco), until he signed with FC Penafiel (Portuguese side at the time in the second division) in 2005. Retired at the end of the season, he subsequently embraced a career as a goalkeeping coach.
