André Felipe de Sousa Galiassi (22 August 1980) is a Brazilian retired professional footballer who played as a centre-back.

Career

Galiassi was born on 22 August 1980 in São Paulo, Brazil and began playing junior-level football at Corinthians where he was teammates with future Brazilian international Kléber.[1][2] He started his senior career by playing for Brazilian teams in the regional championships such as Roma Apucarana.[1][2] Afterwards, he moved abroad, initially playing in Paraguay's top two leagues for River Plate, General Caballero and Tacuary.[1][3] Subsequently, Galiassi went to Bolivia at Bolívar with whom he won the domestic league, and made appearances in continental competitions.[1][3][4][5] Among these were six matches in the group phase of the 2006 Copa Libertadores.[1][2][3][6]

Galiassi and teammate Miguel Cuéllar were transferred from Bolívar to Romanian side CFR Cluj which first paid €100,000 for Galiassi's loan, shortly afterwards paying another €400,000 for his permanent transfer.[2][4][5][7][8] He made his Liga I debut on 24 February 2007 when coach Cristiano Bergodi introduced him at halftime to replace Romeo Surdu, managing to score a goal in the 63rd minute as CFR obtained a 1–1 draw against Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț.[1][7][9] In the following season, Galiassi helped CFR win The Double, which constituted the club's first trophies, being used in 28 league matches by coach Ioan Andone.[1][10][11] He also played the full 90 minutes in the 2–1 victory against Unirea Urziceni in the Cupa României final.[1][12] Subsequently, Galiassi played five games for The Railway Men in the 2008–09 Champions League group stage.[1] Among these matches were a historical 2–1 victory at Stadio Olimpico against AS Roma and a 0–0 draw against Chelsea, a game in which his performance in front of his direct opponent Didier Drogba was highly regarded.[1][2][13] In the same season he won another Cupa României with the club, but this time Galiassi was only an unused substitute in the final.[1][14] After his impressive performance in the Champions League, clubs from Russia and Greece were interested in acquiring him and Swiss side Young Boys offered €100,000 for his loan.[7] However, in July 2009 he was transferred by CFR for a sum of €500,000 to newly promoted Süper Lig side Kasımpaşa.[7][15]

On 9 August 2009, Galiassi made his Süper Lig debut under coach Besim Durmuş in a 2–1 away loss to Bursaspor.[16] After only three league matches in half a year, Kasımpaşa loaned him back to Romania at Unirea Alba Iulia for a fee of €30,000, because coach Adrian Falub wanted him there.[17] Galiassi ended his career at Concordia Chiajna where he made his last Liga I appearance on 22 October 2011 in a 1–0 away loss to Voința Sibiu, having a total of 85 games with four goals scored in the competition.[1][10][18]
