Raphael Gregório Guzzo (born 6 January 1995) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga Portugal 2 club Marítimo.

Developed at Benfica, where he was only a reserve, he played 87 Primeira Liga games and scored six goals for Tondela, Vizela and Chaves. He also competed in Spain's Segunda División with Reus, the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A with Góias and the Azerbaijan Premier League with Neftçi.

Born in Brazil, Guzzo represented Portugal at youth level.

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Benfica

[edit | edit source]

Guzzo was born in São Paulo, Brazil, moving to Portugal before his tenth birthday and starting playing football with Associação Desportiva Flaviense. In 2008, the 13-year-old joined S.L. Benfica's youth system.[2][3]

On 6 January 2013, still a junior, Guzzo made his professional debut with the latter's reserve team, starting in a 1–1 home draw against C.D. Santa Clara in the Segunda Liga.[4] He scored his first goal in the competition the following month, contributing to a 4–1 home win over C.F. União.[5]

On 30 August 2014, Guzzo was loaned to second tier club G.D. Chaves in a season-long deal.[6] The following 10 August, still owned by Benfica, he signed with C.D. Tondela,[7] but the loan was terminated on 28 January 2016.[8] His maiden appearance in the Primeira Liga with the latter took place on 14 August 2015, when he came on as a late substitute for Luís Machado in a 1–2 home loss to Sporting CP.[9]

Reus

[edit | edit source]

On 31 August 2016, Guzzo joined Spanish Segunda División side CF Reus Deportiu.[10][11] His first match in the competition took place on 22 September, when he played 19 minutes in a 1–0 away win against Real Oviedo.[12]

Guzzo returned to his adopted homeland on 16 August 2018, being loaned to F.C. Famalicão for one year.[13] He played 13 times as they won promotion to the top flight as runners-up, and scored in a 3–1 defeat of former team Benfica B on 20 April 2019.[14]

Vizela

[edit | edit source]

On 2 August 2019, Guzzo returned to Chaves as a free agent and agreed to a two-year contract.[15] In February 2021, however, he moved to F.C. Vizela also in division two on a deal until June 2022.[16] He scored six goals until the end of that season in only 15 matches,[17] helping the latter return to the top tier after 36 years.[18]

Guzzo put pen to paper to a one-year extension on 7 July 2021.[19] He scored his first top-flight goal the following 22 January to equalise in a 3–2 win on his return to Tondela,[20] adding another eight days later in a victory by the same score at home to Vitória de Guimarães.[21]

On 7 July 2023, Vizela announced Guzzo's departure after his contract expired.[22]

Goiás

[edit | edit source]

On 18 July 2023, Guzzo returned to his home country and signed a six-month deal with Goiás Esporte Clube.[23] He made his debut in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A on 13 August, playing the final half-hour of a 1–0 win at América Futebol Clube (MG), and scored his only goal for Armando Evangelista's men as the winner away to Coritiba Foot Ball Club on 5 November;[24] he was released at the end of his contract following relegation.[25]

Later career

[edit | edit source]

Guzzo returned for a third spell at Chaves in January 2024, signing a contract until the end of the season.[26][27] He scored against Boavista FC (2–1 victory) and F.C. Arouca (5–1 loss, also at home),[28][29] in an eventual relegation as last.[30]

On 12 August 2024, Guzzo joined Azerbaijan Premier League club Neftçi PFK on a two-year deal.[31] In June 2025, however, he left by mutual agreement.[32]

On 13 August 2025, Guzzo went back to Portugal and agreed to a two-year contract at second-tier C.S. Marítimo.[33]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Guzzo represented Portugal at the 2014 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[34] Also with his adopted nation, he took part in the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, scoring his team's first goal in the 2–1 victory over New Zealand in the round of 16.[35]
