Born in Cascavel, Parana, Nazario joined Figueirense's youth setup in 2010, after starting it out at hometown club FC Cascavel. He made his first team – and Serie A – debut on 3 November 2012, coming on as a late substitute for Raphael Botti in a 0–1 away loss against Flamengo.

Nazario appeared in four matches during the year, as his side suffered relegation as dead last. He scored his first goal as a senior on 24 March 2013, netting the last in a 4–1 Campeonato Catarinense home routing of Metropolitano.

In May 2013 Nazario left Figueira, after having his federative rights negotiated to a group of investors. He subsequently joined Serie B side America Mineiro, on loan from his parent club Tombense.

In August 2013 Nazario signed a four-year deal with German Bundesliga side 1899 Hoffenheim, for a rumoured fee of around €1 million. He made his debut in the category on 3 May 2014, replacing Tobias Strobl in a 2–3 away loss against Borussia Dortmund.

On 28 August 2014, after being rarely used, Nazario was loaned to Polish Ekstraklasa club Lechia Gdansk for a year.

On 4 January 2016, he was loaned to Cruzeiro Esporte Clube.
