Marcelo Moretto Biography

Marcelo Moretto is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on May 10, 1978 in Eldorado, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Marcelo Moretto de Souza, also known as Moretto is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays the role of a goalkeeper.

Moretto began the 2005-06 season in Setubal. He was a good goalkeeper and appeared in 17 matches. They conceded only five goals during the first half. Vitoria lost their coach Luis Norton de Matos after a great season. 2005 saw Vitoria lose a few players to unpaid wages.

Moretto did not have an easy time after joining Benfica because, alternating above-average performances with subpar ones, he suffered from the animosity of the club supporters, which undermined his concentration. As a result, upon the departure of Koeman and arrival of his replacement, Fernando Santos, he was relegated to the role of substitute, with Quim again becoming the starter; during 2006–07 he played only one game, often splitting the bench with Moreira.

On 13 July 2007, Moretto agreed to join AEK Athens F.C. on a loan deal. The Greek club had the option to purchase the player at the end of the loan period, which was not activated, and he returned to Benfica for the 2008–09 season.

There was much talk in the media about Moretto’s potential transfer to Benfica and FC Porto during the 2005 Christmas/New Year break in Portugal. He made a controversial decision and chose Benfica as his new club. This was after explaining the “bad behavior” of the Porto chairmen and manager. Porto officially denied any interest in the player and the transfer cost Benfica EUR1million.

Andre, Moretto’s younger brother (born 1987), was also an athlete and goalkeeper. Although he was on contract for Vitoria de Setubal for many years, he never played in the first team.

Born in Eldorado in Mato Grosso do Sul in 2003, Moretto was a professional soccer player for four years in his native country. He represented Sao Jose Esporte Clube as well as Associacao Portuguesa de Desportos and Londrina Esporte Clube. He was 25 years old when he decided to go to Portugal to try his luck. He joined S.C. Salgueiros, in the second division, and made a good first impression in the preseason. However, due to severe economic crisis, the club was demoted to the third level, and all its professional players were lost.

In January 2005, Moretto came close playing for G.D. Estoril Praia and F.C. Penafiel – both in the Primeira Liga – but ended up signing for two years with fellow league club Vitória F.C. to replace Fulham-bound Ricardo Batista. He soon became the coach’s first option while the team performed above all expectations, winning the Portuguese Cup after beating S.L. Benfica in the final.
