Introduction About Dante Bonfim Costa Santos
Hailing from Brazil, I am Dante Bonfim Costa Santos, commonly referred to as Dante, born on the 18th of October, 1983. I've carved out a reputable career as a professional footballer and currently hold the mantle of captain at Ligue 1 club Nice. While I am primarily lauded for my role as a centre-back, my versatility has seen me adeptly fill positions as a defensive midfielder and left back when called upon.
My football journey began with a promising emergence at Juventude, an experience that laid the foundation for my professional ethos and skill set. My career trajectory took me across Europe, where I honed my craft with stints at Lille, Charleroi, and Standard Liège. It was with Standard Liège that I tasted significant triumph, securing the coveted Belgian Pro League title. The winter of 2009 marked a pivotal moment in my career as I joined Borussia Mönchengladbach. After two-and-a-half impactful seasons, I made a significant €4.7 million transfer to the prestigious Bayern Munich. It was here, amidst the Bavarian giants, that I achieved a glittering array of nine domestic and international honours, etching my name into the annals of football history.
My international career with Brazil kicked off in 2013, a year that saw me not only debut for the national team but also be a part of the Confederations Cup-winning squad. The following year, I had the honour of representing my country at the world's most prestigious football tournament, the 2014 FIFA World Cup. As a centre-back, my leadership and defensive prowess have been instrumental on both domestic and international stages, showcasing my unwavering dedication to the beautiful game.
