Kerlon Moura Souza Net Worth

Background and career

Kerlon Moura Souza (born 27 January 1988) is a Brazilian professional football coach and former player who played as an attacking midfielder. After retiring, he worked as a coach at Olé Soccer in the United States.

Kerlon first gained prominence after his performances at the South American U-17 Championship in 2005, where he scored eight goals in seven games and helped Brazil win the title.

While playing with Cruzeiro, he gained more notoriety due to his seal dribble technique, and after a good 2007 season, he was billed as "the next Ronaldinho" and caught the attention of top European clubs like Inter Milan, who signed him in 2008.

However, a pair of knee injuries ultimately derailed his career, only make sporadic appearances until his retirement in 2017, and never fulfilled his true potential.
