Part 2/7:
Rogério began his professional career in the youth ranks of Internacional before transitioning to Juventus, where he garnered attention for his defensive skills. He eventually signed with Sassuolo, a club that experienced notable success in the Italian Serie A during his tenure. Rogério established himself as a competent left-back known for his tactical acumen rather than lofty assist and goal statistics.
Under the guidance of Roberto De Zerbi, a respected manager now at Olympique de Marseille, Rogério flourished, showcasing his ability to perform a vital role in defense. This period not only honed his skills but also set the stage for his move to Wolfsburg in Germany, where he faced challenges, including a significant knee injury that curtailed his appearances for the 2024 season.
