Clodoaldo Francisco Chagas Ferreira, better known as Clodoaldo (born 28 December 1978), is a Brazilian former footballer who played as a striker.
Career
Having started his career at Fortaleza, Clodoaldo is the club's second-highest scorer in history with 126 goals, and is also in the club's hall of fame due to his fan loyalty and his achievements on the field. He was promoted to Série A with the club in 2002 and has won the state championship on five occasions.[2][3] In 2006, he had a controversial departure directly to rival Ceará, where he was unable to repeat his good performance. In 2017, he was "forgiven" by the fans, returning to the club to retire.[4][5][6] He last played in 2019 at the Copa Fares Lopes.[7]
In 2002 interestingly, he gained national fame from that year onwards, when several reports popularized "Rap do Clodô" and the song "Uh terror o Clodoaldo é matador" throughout the country.[8]
Personal life
Clodoaldo faced several problems related to alcoholism during his career. In 2004 and in 2017, the player was arrested in his hometown of Ipú due to non-payment of child support for his daughter. [8][9][10]
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he became known as an ambassador for Fortaleza EC, promoting several actions.[11] In 2025, Clodoaldo began his degree in a physical education course.[12]
