Paulo Baier
Paulo César Baier (born 25 October 1974) is a Brazilian football manager and former player who played as an attacking midfielder.
Baier's 21-year career started in 1995 with São Luiz-RS, as a right back. Mainly associated to Criciúma, Goiás and Atlético Paranaense, he scored totals of 106 goals since the establishment of the round-robin format of the Série A, being the second-best in the tournament's history.
Baier was born in Ijuí, Rio Grande do Sul, of German descent. Started his career at the age of 12, training with Gaúcho's youth setup. In 1991, after representing hometown amateur sides Esporte Clube Flamengo Vila Santo Antônio and Sociedade Recreativa Esportiva Chorão, he went on a trial at São Luiz.
Baier subsequently joined the club's youth setup, but was converted into a right back during his formation. Promoted to the first team in 1995 and known as Paulo César, he was regularly used during his two-year spell.
In 1997, Baier joined Série A side Criciúma, after impressing in a friendly match against the club. He made his debut for the club on 5 July, starting in a 1–1 away draw against América-RN, and scored his first goal on 12 October, netting the last in a 2–0 home defeat of Bahia.
In the middle of 1998, after winning the year's Campeonato Catarinense, Baier moved to Atlético Mineiro (two stints). Sparingly used, he subsequently represented Botafogo, Vasco da Gama, América Mineiro and Pelotas before returning to Criciúma in 2002.
As the club already had a Paulo César in the squad, he was initially known as Paulo César Baier, but it was "too long". He then started to be called as Paulo Baier, and was a regular starter as the club won the year's Série B. In the final, he scored a hat-trick in a 4–1 home routing of Fortaleza.
Ahead of the 2004 season, Baier moved to Goiás also in the main category. He scored a career-best 15 league goals during the campaign, and added a further eight in 2005; in the latter year he also finished the Campeonato Goiano as the top goalscorer, with 12 goals.
