Five-time world champion in 2002, former defensive midfielder Kleberson was announced this Friday (16/5) as the new commentator for Grupo Globo. Retired from his career as a soccer player since 2016, the former athlete ventured into coaching and technical director after the end of his career on the pitch.
This will not, however, be the former number 15 of the Brazilian National Team’s first experience in the world of communication. Kleberson had already worked at SporTV in 2022 covering the World Cup in Qatar.
Now, he has signed with Globo to have a permanent position and join the team of commentators for the broadcaster’s channels.
Kleberson, 45, began his career at Athletico Paranaense in 1999. Later, the athlete moved to European football. In Europe, he played for Manchester United (2003/2004 and 2004/2005) and Besiktas (2005/2006 and 2006 and 2007). In 2008, he returned to Brazil. The player signed with Flamengo. He then played for Athletico-PR again and signed with Bahia.
