01 (0)Júlio César Santos Correia (born
November 18 ,1978 in São Luís,Maranhão ,Brazil ), or simply Júlio César is a Brazilian football defender who currently plays forDinamo Bucharest in theRomania nLiga I .He is not to be confused with two other Brazilian players also named
Julio Cesar , in particular withJulio Cesar da Silva who played in the World Cup 1986 for Brazil.Having started his career with
CD Marathon in Honduras he left to Spain. Then in 1996 withReal Valladolid , for whom he continued playing for three years before being snapped up byReal Madrid . He won theUEFA Champions League with Madrid in 2000, but he found himself on his way again at the end of the season, first toA.C. Milan , thenReal Sociedad ,SL Benfica , andFK Austria Wien .Cesar made his way from
Spain to the Premiership, where he joinedBolton Wanderers and immediately found form, debuting in a 4-1 victory over Charlton Athletic.However after the next game, a 2-0 defeat to Fulham, Cesar found himself dropped from the starting line-up in favour of the Tunisian international
Radhi Jaidi .The rest of the 2004-2005 season saw the player appear intermittently in the Bolton team but a broken foot sustained against Manchester United at Old Trafford on
Boxing Day did not help his chances of re-gaining a regular first team berth.He was signed by
Tigres UANL in 2005 and has since become a key to theTigres UANL defense in both the Mexican tournament and theCopa Libertadores de América .In July 2006 he joined
Olympiacos CFP .His transfer from
Real Valladolid to Bolton Wanderers in July 2004 is one of those about which the Stevens enqury report in June 2007 expressed concerns because of the apparent conflict of interest between agentCraig Allardyce , his fatherSam Allardyce - the then manager at Bolton - and the club itself [cite news | title = What Stevens said about each club | publisher = www.telegraph.co.uk| date = 2007-06-16| url =http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=A1YourView&xml=/sport/2007/06/16/sfnste116.xml
