He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 11 December 2016, coming on as a late substitute for fellow youth graduate Christian in a 1–0 away loss to Santos, as his side was already relegated.

Zé Ricardo played his 100th match for Coelho on 11 November 2019, in a 2–0 away win over Cuiabá. He reached the 200 matches milestone on 25 May 2022, in a 3–0 Copa Libertadores away loss to Independiente del Valle.
