Leandro Marcolini Pedroso de Almeida (born 19 March 1982), generally known as Leandro, is a former professional footballer who played mainly as a midfielder. Born in Brazil, he played for the Hungary national team.

Club career

He has also played for Brazilian clubs Londrina, Corinthians, Atlético Paranaense, and Hungarian clubs Debrecen, Ferencváros, MTK, Haladás and Bük.

Omonia

In January 2010, he signed a contract with Cypriot side Omonia. He broke into the first team very quickly and he soon became a key player for the successful 2009–10 league campaign. He scored in a 2010 Cypriot Super Cup final against Apollon Limassol to send the match to penalties, which were eventually won by Omonia. At the end of the season, Omonia won the Cypriot Cup, with Leandro contributing heavily by scoring it the extra-time of semi-final against Ethnikos Achna. For the 2011–12 season, he was named third captain of Omonia, behind Constantinos Makrides and Christos Karipidis. During that season, the Brazilian faced many injury problems and performed poorly. Eventually, he stayed with the club and participated in the preparation with no problems, and not only he won a position in the starting lineup but became captain of the team.

Ferencváros

On 16 June 2020, he became champions with Ferencváros again after beating Honvéd at the Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion on the 30th match day of the 2019–20 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season.[1]

International career

After residing in Hungary for 5 years since the age of 17, he became a naturalized citizen of Hungary. He has since played for Hungary. Leandro's début came on 1 June 2004, in a match against China.
