Biography
Dante Bonfim Costa Santos (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈdɐ̃tʃi bõˈfĩ ˈkɔstɐ ˈsɐ̃tus]; born 18 October 1983), also known as Dante Bonfim or simply Dante, is a Brazilian football manager and former professional footballer who played as a Centre-back. Primarily a centre-back, he was previously also used as a defensive midfielder or left-back. He currently works as the head coach of Regionalliga Bayern club Bayern Munich II.
After emerging at Juventude, Dante went on to play for Lille, Charleroi and Standard Liège, winning the Belgian Pro League with the latter. In January 2009, he was signed by Borussia Mönchengladbach, spending two-and-a-half seasons before making a €4.7 million move to Bayern Munich, where he won nine domestic and international honours, including a Champions League title. Following a brief stint with VfL Wolfsburg, Dante spent the remainder of his career back in France with Nice, making over 300 appearances, playing ten seasons and going on to captain the side, before retiring in 2026 at the age of 42.
Dante made his international debut for Brazil in 2013, winning that year's Confederations Cup and representing the nation at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, both on home soil.
