Marcelo José Bordon (born January 7, 1976 in Ribeirão Preto) is a Brazilian football centre back. Since 2004 he has played for Bundesliga side Schalke 04. He joined the club for a €2.6 million transfer fee from VfB Stuttgart. There, he formed a formidable central defence alongside Mladen Krstajić, and has been a first team regular ever since, boasting a formidable aerial ability and a capacity for leadership that earned him the role as team captain since the 2006-07 season. Although not a regular for the Brazilian national side, he was part of the team that won the 2004 Copa América.
