Current Information
During the end of his career, Edmundo had good performances, although he was not physically so strong as in the mid-90s. That is why he alternated great appearances with bad ones. Even though, his football skills were fundamental to Figuerense avoid the relegation in the Campeonato Brasileiro da Serie A de 2005 and Palmeiras the relegation in Campeonato Brasileiro da Serie A de 2006.
He was the main footballer of Palmeiras (along with Valdivia and Marcos) in the 2007 season, but his contract was not renewed. There are two versions of this fact: according to the "official" one, his salary was too high for his irregular performances. But it is more possible that the actual reason was that Caio Júnior, who was favorable to this permanence, was sacked and Vanderlei Luxemburgo, who has personal problems with Edmundo, was hired.
In January 2008, Edmundo returned to Vasco da Gama. Unfortunately, he could not do anything when Vasco da Gama was relegated to Campeonato Brasileiro da Série B de 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or information:
“This is no argument against teaching manners to the young. On the contrary, it is a fine old tradition that ought to be resurrected from its current mothballs and put to work...In fact, children are much more comfortable when they know the guide rules for handling the social amenities. It’s no more fun for a child to be introduced to a strange adult and have no idea what to say or do than it is for a grownup to go to a formal dinner and have no idea what fork to use.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
