Football career
Born in Porto Alegre, Christian began his career with hometown's Sport Club Internacional, and moved at just 17 to Portuguese side C.S. Marítimo, representing other two modest teams in the country in the following two seasons.
In 1996, he returned to Internacional, where his performances eventually awarded him an international callup, as he was part of the 1999 Copa América-winning squad, eventually signing with Paris Saint-Germain FC.
In the French capital side, however, Christian failed to perform, also being loaned to two teams before being released in June 2003. During his two-year loan spell at Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense, the club narrowly avoided relegation to the second division in his first year, but it befell in the following.
Subsequently, Christian represented Omiya Ardija, São Paulo Futebol Clube, Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, Esporte Clube Juventude and Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, returning to Internacional in early 2007. The following year, he joined Associação Portuguesa de Desportos, then moved to Mexico's C.F. Pachuca, switching back to Portuguesa shortly after, with the club now in Série B.
