Which soccer (football) player adopted the nickname 'Ataliba'?

Carlos Eduardo Soares or Ataliba (born 1979) is a Brazilian former professional soccer player. As a midfielder, he primarily played defense yet still managed to score ten career goals while active with multiple teams between 1997 and 2014.

After starting his career with two homeland clubs, Pointe Preta (1997-1998) and Coritiba (1999-2001), the remainder of his career became notably itinerant, mostly with other Brazilian teams.

In 2002 Ataliba was transferred to the first of two Japanese clubs he played for, Vissel Kobe, with whom he scored his second career goal. Ataliba would later score another goal with another Japanese club, Kyoto Saga, in 2008. After playing only seven games with Vissel Kobe, Ataliba finished 2002 with the second of three stints with Coritiba.

Ataliba's penultimate team was in Iran, Sharhdari Tabriz (2010-2012), the team with which he scored the most goals (4).

It is apparently purely coincidental the name Ataliba is also that of a character in the play 'Alzire (Alzira), ou Les Américains' (1736) by Voltaire. Ataliba is an Inca tribal chieftain and the father of the title heroine.
