Rodrigo Posso Moreno (born May 16, 1976), known as Rodrigo Posso, is a retired Brazilian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper. He currently plays for Ermis Aradippou. [1]
Posso was born in Moreira Sales, Paraná, Brazil on May 16, 1976. [2] [3] As a child, he played mostly indoor football; his first experience on a field was with his grandfather's amateur league. [2] His father wanted him to be a midfielder initially. [2] Posso only ever wanted to be a soccer player and started working selling tickets at 14 to try something new, but left home at 15 to join Cruzeiro's youth team. [2] His first club was Comercial. [2]
After playing on their youth squad, Posso signed a professional contract with Cruzeiro in 1996. [4] He won the Copa Libertadores with them in 1997 [5] but only appeared four times before being loaned to Desportiva-ES and Ipatinga in 1999. [4] [2] He was eventually traded permanently to Ipatinga and played there every year between 2004 and 2007 except for 2002. [6] [4] During this time, he was loaned to Remo, ABC, Gama, Uberaba, and Mirassol. [6] In 2004, Ipatinga won the Minas Gerais Cup and were state vice and semifinalists at the Copa do Brasil in 2006. [7] [3] [2]
In 2009, he retired from goaltending to act as Ipatinga's Executive Director of Football. [2] He learned quickly that he missed playing and signed on with Ermis Aradippou in Cyprus the same year. [2] [8] [6] He played for a few months before returning to Brazil; he retired again briefly then signed with Uberlândia in 2010. [2] [9] In 2013, he retired for a third time [10] after playing the 2012–2013 season with Nacional-MG. [11] He remained retired until 2017, when he signed on with São Sebastião before retiring for his fourth and final time. [6] [4] [12]
Posso occasionally plays on alumni teams. In 2015, he joined other former Cruzeiro players in a game against current Cruzeiros to celebrate Alex's retirement. [13] In 2017, he competed in the Master category of the Minas Gerais Cup with other former Cruzeiros. [14]
After retiring, he established a football school called the Rodrigo Passo Sports (RPS) Escola de Futebol [15] [16] in the municipality of Ipatinga. [17] He coaches youth teams and in 2019 brought his U-15 team to the Disney Youth Soccer Cup, which was held in Orlando, Florida, USA. [12] He also served as the president of the Sports and Education Association in Vale do Aço. [18]
Posso has spent more time in Minas Gerais than he has in Paraná and feels more at home in Ipatinga, particularly because he was married and raised his children there. [2] He has a degree in physical education from Unileste, a university in nearby Coronel Fabriciano. [2] [10]
