Bordeaux
In January 2007, Jussiê joined Bordeaux on loan. On 3 February 2007, he played his first Ligue 1 match for Bordeaux against Nice.[3] He went on to make 16 appearances in the league scoring 2 goals as Bordeaux finished in sixth place. In his club's Coupe de la Ligue final against Lyon he came on as a substitute contributing to a 1–0 win which not only earned Bordeaux the cup but also UEFA Cup qualification.[4]
On 4 June 2007, Jussiê joined Bordeaux permanently on a four-year contract, for an undisclosed fee.[4][5]
He received French nationality in January 2011.[6]
Jussiê left Bordeaux in summer 2016 after eight years with the club as his contract was not renewed.[7] He expressed disappointment about finding out about his departure via the club website, stating "Given the way I go, inevitably, there is bitterness. I did not understand. I have not had a single call from the president nor anyone. I know that economically, it is a bit complicated for the club. But my story with the Girondins is not a money story".[8]
In February 2017, he announced his retirement from professional football.[9] It had been reported he would play for French amateur club Stade Bordelais but he was denied a playing license by the French Football Federation.[10][11]
