After leaving Real Madrid, Brazilian Marcelo joined the ranks of Olympiacos, the Greek league champion, with whom he displayed a career full of triumphs.
The role of left-back Marcelo, who has won the Champions League five times, diminished with Real Madrid last season, as he played only seven games in all competitions, and Real Madrid won the Spanish League and the Champions League.
Although Marcelo was the captain, under coach Carlo Ancelotti, Karim Benzema normally wears the armband.
Marcelo departed Real Madrid at the end of last season when his contract expired, after a 15-year career in the royal ranks.
Marcelo stated after leaving Real Madrid, “I will not retire, not now.” I believe I can still win the championship. And taking on Real Madrid will be no problem. I am a Madrid supporter, but I am also a professional footballer.
Marcelo became a free agent, and his name has lately been linked to a move to Leicester City.
However, when the transaction was revealed, Marcelo, 34, joined Olympiacos of Greece, whom he praised as a true football great.
Former Real Madrid player Marcelo shocks everyone by joining Olympiacos.
