Roger Machado Marques (born 25 April 1975), also known simply as Roger, is a Brazilian football manager and former player who played as a left back. He is the current head coach of Juventude.

Machado's playing career was mainly associated with Grêmio, a club he represented for ten years. After retiring with Fluminense in 2008, he later became a manager, being notably in charge of both his former sides.

Playing career

A Grêmio youth graduate, Porto Alegre-born Machado made his debut for the club in 1994. A regular starter, he was among of the club's most successful era, achieving one Série A and one Copa Libertadores.

In 2004 Machado moved abroad, signing for J1 League side Vissel Kobe. Returning to Brazil in 2006, he joined Fluminense and also featured regularly.[1] In 2009, he agreed to a move to D.C. United, but the deal was cancelled after a back injury,[2] and he subsequently retired.

Machado's maiden appearance for the Brazil football team occurred on 12 June 2001, in a 1–0 loss against Mexico for the year's Copa América.[3]

Managerial career

Machado returned to his first club Grêmio on 5 January 2011, as an assistant manager.[4] He left the club in December 2013, and was subsequently appointed manager of Juventude the following 19 February.[5]

Sacked on 28 July 2014,[6] Roger was named Novo Hamburgo manager on 19 December.[7] On 26 May 2015, he replaced Luiz Felipe Scolari at the helm of former side Grêmio.[8]

Machado led the club to an impressive third position during the campaign, being praised for his tactical duties.[9] On 15 September 2016, after a poor run of form, he resigned.[10]

On 2 December 2016, Machado was announced at Atlético Mineiro, signing a two-year deal.[11] He was relieved from his duties on 20 July of the following year, after a 2–0 home loss against Bahia.[12]

On 22 November 2017, Machado was appointed manager of Palmeiras for the 2018 season.[13] He was dismissed the following 26 July, being subsequently replaced by Luiz Felipe Scolari; his team went on to win the first division after his dismissal.

On 2 April 2019, Machado replaced sacked Enderson Moreira at the helm of Bahia.[14] On 2 September of the following year, after a 5–3 home loss against Flamengo, he was himself dismissed.[15]

On 27 February 2021, Machado was named manager of another club he represented as a player, Fluminense.[16] He was sacked on 21 August, after being knocked out of the 2021 Copa Libertadores.[17]

On 14 February 2022, Machado replaced Vagner Mancini at the helm of Grêmio,[18] but was himself dismissed on 1 September.[19] On 12 January 2024, he returned to Juventude after nearly ten years, in the place of Thiago Carpini.[20]
