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.
In the middle of 2009, he became a football pundit in Rede TV!. In the beginning of 2010, Rede Bandeirantes hired him. He was part of the broadcaster's jornalstics team in the 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012 coverages.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or information:
““I” is a militant social tendency, working to hold and enlarge its place in the general current of tendencies. So far as it can it waxes, as all life does. To think of it as apart from society is a palpable absurdity of which no one could be guilty who really saw it as a fact of life.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“I have all my life been on my guard against the information conveyed by the sense of hearing—it being one of my earliest observations, the universal inclination of humankind is to be led by the ears, and I am sometimes apt to imagine that they are given to men as they are to pitchers, purposely that they may be carried about by them.”
—Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
