Leonardo Augusto Gomes Aro (born 14 December 1983), known as Léo Aro, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a winger. [1]

Career

A Guarani youth product, Léo Aro was coached by Evaristo Piza's father at the club. [2] He scored on his senior debut for Guarani against Corinthians. [2] In 2005, he won the Copa do Brasil with Paulista, also scoring in the final against Fluminense. [2] Having signed for Internacional in 2006, he was part of the squad that won the 2006 Copa Libertadores and the 2006 FIFA Club World Cup. [2] He was not initially included in Internacional's 23-man squad for the FIFA Club World Cup but was called up by coach Abel Braga after Colombian forward Wason Rentería sustained an injury. [3] Also at Internacional, Léo Aro considered teammate Fernandão a father figure. [2]

He spent time abroad in Europe in 2009 and 2010, with Italian club Lecce and Portuguese side Leixões. [4] At both clubs, he played little, making three and 13 appearances, respectively. [4]

In 2011 Léo Aro returned to Brazil with Comercial-SP, going on to play for lower-league sides such as Marilia and Bragantino-SP. [4] He re-joined former club Guarani in 2014, making few appearances. [4]

He played for Inter de Limeira in the first half of the 2016 season. [2] On 28 December 2016, Taubaté, coached by Evaristo Piza, [5] announced Léo Aro would join the club for the 2017 season in Campeonato Paulista Série A2. [2] He was Taubaté's first signing for the 2017 season. [5] He left the club in April 2017, having made his last appearance on 15 April 2017 in a 3–2 win over São Caetano, [4] and subsequently retired from playing. [4]

Style of play

"A fast and technically gifted player", Léo Aro's preferred playing position was winger but he could also play as a centre-forward. [5] In 2018, after Léo Aro's retirement, Ge.globo's journalist Luiz Felipe Longo stated that Léo Aro's career had been "far less brilliant than expected". [4]

Post-playing career

After his retirement from playing Léo Aro studied to become a fitness coach and had an internship with Ponte Preta's amputee football team. [4] He had started a physical education course in 2002, while at Guarani, which he interrupted in favour of his playing career. [4] In 2020, he said he had completed his degree in physical education in 2018. [3]

Personal life

Léo Aro has a son, who in August 2018 was ten years old. [4]
