Renan Brito Soares (born 24 January 1985), simply known as Renan, is a Brazilian football coach and former player who played as a goalkeeper. He is the current head coach of Barra-SC.
Born in Viamão, Rio Grande do Sul, Renan made his professional debut for Internacional against Juventude in the Campeonato Gaúcho in a 1–0 win on 3 April 2005.[1]
Renan joined Spanish club Valencia on 13 August 2008.[2] He made his debut for Valencia CF in a 3–0 win against Real Mallorca. He made a great start to his Valencia CF career and was their number one keeper, but on 20 January 2009 he sustained a groin injury in a match against Athletic de Bilbao and was ruled out for six weeks, enabling veteran César Sánchez to step in. After recovering from his injury he remained on the bench till the end of the 2008–09 season owing to Cesar's fine form, and following the close season signing of Miguel Ángel Moyà from Real Mallorca he left the Mestalla.
Xerez signed the Brazilian goalkeeper on loan from Valencia on 27 July 2009.[3]
On 4 June 2010, Sport Club Internacional signed him on loan from Valencia.[4]
On 13 December 2018, Renan joined Campeonato Brasileiro Série B side São Bento on a one-year contract.[5]
Renan was a member of Brazil's team for the 2008 Summer Olympics, he was the first-choice goalkeeper for the tournament, appearing in all matches as Brazil went on to get the bronze medal.
