Marco Aurélio de Oliveira (born 22 July 1972), commonly known as Marcão, is a Brazilian football coach and former player who played as a defensive midfielder. He is the current assistant coach of Fluminense.[1]

Playing career

Marcão was born in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, and finished his formation with Bangu. He made his first team debut on 5 March 1989, starting in a 0–0 Campeonato Carioca home draw against Americano.

After establishing himself as a starter for the club and subsequently serving loan stints at Criciúma, Vasco da Gama[2] and Bragantino, Marcão joined Fluminense in 1999.[3] At the latter club he was an immediate first-choice, appearing in 333 matches and scoring 12 goals during his first spell.[4]

In August 2005, Marcão moved abroad and joined Al-Ittihad Doha in Qatar.[4] In September, however, he returned to Flu after failing to adapt to the new country, and appeared regularly until the end of 2006, when he was released.

Marcão subsequently represented Cabofriense (two stints),[5] Juventude,[6] Joinville[7] and CFZ do Rio[8] before returning to Bangu in 2009. He retired with the latter club in March 2011, aged 38.[9]

Coaching career

Immediately after retiring Marcão took up coaching, being named head coach of his last club Bangu.[9] He was sacked on 30 January 2012, and was appointed at the helm of Bonsucesso on 14 February.[10]

On 26 April 2012, Marcão was announced as the new head coach of Ríver,[11] but was sacked with a month in charge.[12] On 12 December of the following year, he returned to Fluminense as an assistant coach.[13]

In March 2016, Marcão was named interim head coach of Flu after the dismissal of Eduardo Baptista.[14] He returned to his previous role after the arrival of Levir Culpi, but was again interim after the latter was sacked in November.[15]

Marcão was dismissed from Fluminense on 7 January 2017,[16] and returned to Bangu on 12 July 2018, as a football coordinator.[17] The following 24 June, he returned to his role as an assistant coach, again at Fluminense.[18]

Marcão was interim at Flu for two spells after the departures of Fernando Diniz and Oswaldo de Oliveira. On 4 October 2019, he was definitely appointed head coach until the end of the year.[19]

Marcão returned to the assistant role for the 2020 season, but took over the first team on 7 December of that year after Odair Hellmann left the club.[20] He returned to his assistant role on 26 February 2021, after the appointment of Roger Machado as head coach.[21]

On 21 August 2021, Marcão was again named head coach until the end of the season, after Roger was sacked.[22] He returned to his previous assistant role on 15 December, after Abel Braga was hired by the club.[23]

On 24 June 2024, Marcão was again an interim at Flu, after the dismissal of Fernando Diniz.[24]
