Sandro Alexandre Forner (born 16 December 1970) is a Brazilian football coach and former player who played as a central defender. He is the current head coach of Operário Ferroviário's under-20 team.
Known as Sandro during his playing days, Forner was born in Amparo, São Paulo,[1] and was a Ponte Preta youth graduate. Promoted to the first-team in 1990, he played for a number of clubs until joining Coritiba in 1997.
After two seasons at Coxa, Forner moved to Fluminense in the Série C, but only featured in one match, a 1–1 away draw against Americano on 1 December 1999. After lifting the trophy, he featured in two more matches for the following year's Torneio Rio-São Paulo before departing.[2]
Afterwards, Forner notably represented Joinville in 2002, ADAP Galo Maringá in 2005 (winning the Campeonato Paranaense Série Prata)[3] and Paranavaí in 2006.[4] He retired with the latter, aged 36.
While at Ponte, Forner represented Brazil at under-17 level in the 1986 South American U-17 Championship and the 1987 FIFA U-16 World Championship,[5] and at under-20 level in the 1989 FIFA World Youth Championship and the 1990 Toulon Tournament.[6]
Forner started his managerial career with J. Malucelli in 2008, being manager of the club's under-20 squad. On 5 August 2009, with the club now named Corinthians Paranaense, he replaced Leandro Niehues at the helm of the main squad.[7]
On 24 April 2010, Forner joined Niehues' staff as assistant at Atlético Paranaense,[8] and on 26 August, he was appointed at the helm of the under-20s.[9] On 2 November 2012, he returned to J. Malucelli and was named first-team manager for the ensuing Paranaense.[10]
Forner returned to Coritiba in 2015, initially as an assistant of the under-23 squad. He was named manager of the under-20s ahead of the 2016 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior,[11] earning plaudits for his latter work.[12]
On 15 December 2017, Forner was announced as first-team manager of Coritiba.[13] He was sacked the following 15 April, after 20 games in charge.[14]
