João Paulo Fernando Marangon (born 17 March 1989) is a Brazilian retired footballer who primarily played as a right midfielder, predominantly for several Italian teams. [2]
Marangon signed a contract with A.S. Roma after his 18th birthday, as his international transfer and contract period were no longer restricted by FIFA protection. [3] In the 2008–09 season he briefly played in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione [4] and Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. In February 2010, he was loaned to Igea Virtus. [5]
He returned to his home country of Brazil in 2012 to play for Brasil de Farroupilha [6] but shortly after moved to Gil Vicente FC. In 2013, he played for Esportivo [7] Sulmona Calcio, [8] and Miami United FC [9] before returning to Italy to join Isernia in 2014. [8] He retired in 2016 following his trade to Gallipoli Calcio [10] and has worked as a scouting agent since. He is based in Rome but primarily scouts Brazilian players. [11]
Marangon is the younger brother of former goalkeeper Doni (Doniéber Alexander Marangon). [11]
On 20 May 2014 João Marangon was announced as a club executive for Miami Dade FC. [12]
