João Felipe Schmidt Urbano (born 19 May 1993), known as João Schmidt, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Santos.
Club career
[edit]São Paulo
[edit]Schmidt was born in São Paulo, and joined São Paulo FC's youth sides in 2005, aged 12.[2] He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 18 July 2012, starting in a 1–0 home loss to Vasco da Gama.[3]
Definitely promoted to the first team ahead of the 2013 season,[4] Schmidt only featured rarely for Tricolor in the following years.
Loan to Vitória de Setúbal
[edit]In July 2014, Schmidt moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Primeira Liga club Vitória de Setúbal on loan for the season.[5] He made his debut abroad on 17 August, starting in a 2–0 away loss to Rio Ave.
Schmidt scored his first professional goal on 24 August 2014, netting his side's second through a penalty kick in a 2–0 home win over Gil Vicente.[6] He was a regular starter for Vitória during his loan spell, contributing with eight goals in 34 appearances overall.
Return from loan
[edit]Schmidt returned to São Paulo in June 2015,[7] but was rarely used by head coach Juan Carlos Osorio during the remainder of the year. He was close to a loan move to Avaí in February 2016,[8] but the move did not materialize, and he later started to feature regularly under head coach Edgardo Bauza.
Schmidt scored his first goal for Tricolor on 6 April 2016, netting his team's third in a 6–0 home routing of Trujillanos, for the year's Copa Libertadores.[9] After finishing the year as a starter, he rejected a contract renewal and agreed to a pre-contract with Italian side Atalanta in January 2017.[10]
Atalanta
[edit]On 8 July 2017, Atalanta officially announced Schmidt.[11] He made his debut for the club on 20 December, replacing Nicolas Haas in a 2–1 Coppa Italia home win over Sassuolo,[12] but failed to feature in any Serie A matches during the season.
Loan to Rio Ave
[edit]On 6 July 2018, Schmidt returned to Portugal and joined Rio Ave on a one-year loan deal, with an option to make the move permanent.[13] He immediately became a first-choice at his new club, scoring a brace in a 7–0 Taça de Portugal home routing of Silves on 25 November 2018.[14]
On 2 February 2019, Rio Ave and Atalanta agreed to end the loan deal early.[15]
Nagoya Grampus
[edit]On 6 February 2019, Nagoya Grampus announced the signing of Schmidt.[16][17] A first-choice in his first year, he lost his starting spot in the 2020 campaign.
Kawasaki Frontale
[edit]On 6 January 2021, Schmidt moved to fellow J1 League side Kawasaki Frontale.[18] He helped the club to retain the league title in his first season, also winning the Japanese Super Cup in 2021 and the Emperor's Cup in 2023.
Santos
[edit]On 30 December 2023, Schmidt returned to his home country after more than six years, after being announced at Santos on a one-year deal.[19] He made his debut for the club the following 20 January, starting in a 1–0 away win over Botafogo-SP.[20]
Schmidt scored his first goal for Peixe on 7 February 2024, netting the winner in a 1–0 home success over rivals Corinthians.[21]
International career
[edit]Schmit was a member of the Brazil national under-20 team in the 2013 Toulon Tournament,[22] starting in all five matches of the competition.
