Rogério Paulo Cesar de Sá (born on 1 October 1964) is a South African soccer coach and former player who played as a goalkeeper. He has been a coach for the Qatari national team since 2023.
De Sá is also one of the handful of South Africans who have represented their country in three different sports – soccer, basketball and indoor soccer.
De Sá started his professional career after Kwikot Benoni coach Jingles Pereira, who knew De Sá's father, knew that the goalkeeper was not playing professional football, promptly signing the player.[2]
During his career, De Sá played for major South African clubs Moroka Swallows and Mamelodi Sundowns, both of which he captained as well.
De Sá was capped only once in his career during a 1994 African Cup of Nations qualification match against Zambia.[3] He was part of the 1996 African Nations Cup-winning squad.
De Sá began his coaching career in 2001 at Bidvest Wits, and would remain in charge for four years.
De Sá rejoined The Students in June 2007 after an absence of two years which he spent coaching Engen Santos.
In September 2012, De Sá was appointed as the coach for Orlando Pirates.[4] He was chosen as PSL Coach of the Season after the 2002–03 season.
On 31 January 2014, De Sá resigned as coach of Orlando Pirates.[5]
Da Sá was appointed Ajax Cape Town coach in 2014, but stepped down from the position after a winless start to the 2016/17 PSL season.[6]
In January 2017, De Sá was announced as Maritzburg United's manager, but he parted ways with the club in March of the same year.[7]
On 8 September 2017, De Sá was named as the head coach of Platinum Stars after the departure of British coach Peter Butler.[8]
He also acted as Bafana's goalkeeping coach during Carlos Queiroz's reign and, in September 2021, was recruited by Queiroz to join him as Assistant Coach to the Egyptian national football team.[9] He continued with Queiroz as assistant coach of Iran for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[10]
In early 2023, De Sá was named as a coach to the Qatari national team, once again working alongside Queiroz. The three-and-a-half-year deal would see De Sá working with the team until at least July 2026.[11]
