Marcelo José Bordon (born 7 January 1976 in Ribeirão Preto) is a retired Brazilian footballer. He lastly played centre back for Al Rayyan Sports Club in the Qatar Stars League but he was mostly known in Germany, playing for Bundesliga teams VfB Stuttgart and Schalke 04. Since 2016, he is managing Rio Branco-SP.[1]

Career

Between 2004 and July 2010 he played for Bundesliga side Schalke 04.[2] He joined the club for a €2.6 million transfer fee from VfB Stuttgart. There, he formed a formidable central defence alongside Mladen Krstajić, boasting a formidable aerial ability and a capacity for leadership that earned him the role as team captain from the 2006–07 season until the summer of 2010. Although not a regular for the Brazilian national side, he was part of the team that won the 2004 Copa América.

On 5 July 2010, his contract with Schalke was canceled[3] and he signed three days later on 8 July 2010 a one-year contract with Al-Rayyan Sports Club.[4] earning approximately €6.5 million per year.
