José Kléberson

Kleberson is a name that carries real weight for anyone who watched Brazil lift the 2002 World Cup. As a midfielder he came up at Atletico Paranaense, winning the Brasileirao in 2001 before his career took him further afield. What interests me now is the second act: he's transitioned into coaching, which always tells me a player thought deeply about the game rather than just relying on talent. The move from elite midfield engine to head coach is a tough leap, and I respect anyone who tries to pass on what they learned at the very top of the sport.

José Kléberson Pereira (born 19 June 1979), commonly known as José Kléberson or simply Kléberson, is a Brazilian football coach and former player who is currently the head coach of North. A former midfielder, he won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A with his first club Atlético Paranaense in 2001, as well as the Campeonato Paranaense twice.
