He won twice promotion for the Sardinian side, which followed the team being promoted to Serie C2 in 2006, which also made Emerson registered as a professional player and able to sign by any Italian professional club, as FIGC only forbidden clubs signing non-EU players from abroad and from amateur league, except Serie A clubs had one conditional quota (for replacing non-EU players that sold abroad or released).
