On 4 August 2013, Viana was injured towards the end of a match against Audax Italiano, but played on to the end and saved a late penalty to keep the score goalless. After the match, he received emergency surgery for a perforated intestine.[3]

In 2024, Viana signed with Trasandino in the Segunda División Profesional de Chile.[4] In July of the same year, he announced his retirement due to a serious physical degeneration.[5]
