Roger Guerreiro (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈʁoʒeʁ ɡeˈʁejɾu], Polish pronunciation: [ˈrɔʐɛr ɡɛˈrɛjrɔ]; born on 25 May 1982), commonly known as Roger, is a Polish former footballer who last played for Rio Verde as an attacking midfielder. Brazilian-born Roger was granted Polish citizenship.

Club career

AEK Athens

On 27 August 2009, Guerreiro signed a four-year contract with AEK Athens.[3] He made his debut for AEK against Iraklis on 13 September 2009.

Guerreiro was a regular for AEK until he fell out of favor with coach Dušan Bajević and was not included in any squads. In the transfer period, Guerreiro was for sale and was offered to many European clubs. After the transfer period ended, Guerreiro apologized to Bajevic and was given another chance. Guerreiro's first match of the 2010–11 season was an away game against Aris, the match ended 0–4 to AEK Athens.

Guerreiro scored his first goal for AEK against Atromitos scoring the only goal of the match giving AEK the 1–0 win. His contract ended in 2013 and did not get renewed.

International career

He was granted Polish citizenship on 17 April 2008.[4] Roger received the citizenship in a speedy procedure, and was guaranteed a place in the Poland's football team for the 2008 European Championships (coached by Leo Beenhakker). He made his debut in a Poland shirt in the game versus Albania on 27 May 2008.

Euro 2008

On 12 June, he scored his first goal for the Poland national team with a 30th-minute shot against Austria in both teams' second Group B match of Euro 2008. For this game, UEFA awarded him man of the match. It was Poland's first-ever goal in the European Championship.[5]
