Danilo das Neves Pinheiro (born 30 August 1992), known by his nickname Tchê Tchê, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Palmeiras in the Brazilian Série A. Although usually employed as a central midfielder, he is an extremely versatile player who can play in multiple roles such as a right/left back, defensive midfielder or even as a winger.
He is renowned for his passing quality, movement, marking, stamina and positioning.
Born in São Paulo, Tchê Tchê joined Audax's youth setup in 2006, after being approved on a trial. He made his senior debut for the club on 27 March 2011, playing the last 14 minutes in a 3–1 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 home win against Rio Branco.
Tchê Tchê was a regular starter for Audax in the club's first season in Campeonato Paulista, appearing in ten matches. His first match in the tournament occurred on 18 January 2014, a 0–0 away draw against Paulista.
After subsequent loans at Guaratinguetá, Ponte Preta and Boa Esporte, Tchê Tchê impressed with Audax during the 2016 Paulistão; he scored his first professional goal on 23 April 2016, netting from long range in a 2–2 draw at Corinthians, which ensured his team's qualification to the finals for the first time in their history.
