Early career
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Zé Ricardo represented São Cristóvão and Olaria as a youth, but retired at early age. He subsequently appeared professionally in futsal, but retired at the age of 25.

Zé Ricardo arrived at Flamengo in 1998, still in futsal. In 2005, he moved to football, being initially in charge of the youth categories.
In 2008 Zé Ricardo left Fla and was appointed manager of Audax Rio. He returned to the former in 2012, being crowned champions of multiple tournaments with the under-18s and under-20s.
Flamengo
