Former «Real» defender Marcelo has become a free agent. The last club he played for was the Brazilian «Fluminense». However, a loud scandal occurred in the match of the 32nd round against «Grêmio».
Fluminense coach Mano Menezes wanted to put Marcelo on the field in the 89th minute. However, the «Real» legend began to argue with the head coach, who was trying to give instructions. The coach could not tolerate such behavior and sent the player back to the bench.
This incident resulted in a penalty for Marcelo. The press service of «Fluminense» reported that the club is parting ways with the famous defender. By the way, his contract was valid until December 31.
It is worth noting that Marcelo joined the «Fluminense» academy as a 13-year-old boy. In 2007, the defender was sold to «Real» for 6.5 million euros. And last year, the 36-year-old Brazilian returned to his home club.
