Josué Anunciado de Oliveira, or simply Josué (born 19 July 1979), is a former Brazilian defensive midfielder.

He played for the Brazil national football team from 2007 to 2010, winning the 2007 Copa América and playing at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Club career

Josué started his career in Goiás before moving on to São Paulo in 2005. He won the Brazilian League, Copa Libertadores and FIFA Club World Cup during his stint at São Paulo. A resilient defensive midfielder that despite being an infrequent provider of assists or goals, the steel he provided in front of São Paulo's back four helped them claim Brazilian League gold in 2006 and 2007.

He then joined VfL Wolfsburg in August 2007, and captained the team who won the 2008–09 Bundesliga, their first league title. As a result, they played in the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League.

In March 2013 on free transfer after five years at Wolfsburg, Josúe transferred to Atlético Mineiro. On 31 March 2013 in his debut match, he scored his first goal for Atlético in a 4–1 victory over Tupi in the Minas Gerais State Championship.

International career

Josué made his international debut on 27 March 2007 in a friendly match against Ghana. He was also part of the Brazil squad which won the 2007 Copa América. His first international goal came during the tournament, in a match against Chile, which Brazil went on to win 6–1.
