Danilo made over 450 appearances in a 20-year playing career, during which he was mainly associated with São Paulo and Corinthians. He twice won the Copa Libertadores and the FIFA Club World Cup, as is a four-time Brazilian league champion.
Danilo is considered by pundits to be the greatest player who was never called up to the Brazil national team. He was known for his technique, vision and goalscoring abilities, which earned him the nickname Zidanilo, in homage to Zinedine Zidane.
