Mariano Ferreira Filho (born 23 June 1986), simply known as Mariano, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Turkish club Galatasaray as a right back.
Club career
Early career
Born in São João, Pernambuco, Mariano graduated with Guarani’s youth setup. He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 20 November 2004, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 away win against Palmeiras.
In December 2006 Mariano left Bugre, and signed for Ipatinga. In May of the following year he had his rights purchased by Tombense, being immediately loaned to Cruzeiro until December 2008.
Despite appearing in 18 games, Mariano was released by Cruzeiro, and subsequently returned to Ipatinga. On 2 July 2008 he moved to cross-town rivals Atlético Mineiro, on loan until the end of the year.
Fluminense
In 2009 Mariano joined Fluminense, on loan. He scored his first professional goal on 24 May, but in a 1–4 home loss against Santos, and finished his first season at the club with 20 appearances and two goals.
An important unit for Flu during his spell, Mariano was bought outright on 5 January 2010, and continued to appear regularly over the course of two campaigns. In 2010, after scoring a career-best three goals, he was elected the tournament’s best right back, as his side was also crowned champions.
Bordeaux
On 29 December 2011 Mariano signed a 4½ year contract with French Ligue 1 club FC Girondins de Bordeaux. He made his debut for the club on 14 January 2012, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 home win against FC Valenciennes.
Mariano scored his first goal for the club on 6 January 2013, netting a last-minute winner in a 3–2 away win against LB Châteauroux, for the season’s Coupe de France. His first league goal came on 21 April, in a 2–2 draw at FC Sochaux-Montbéliard.
Sevilla
On 17 July 2015 Sevilla FC reached an agreement with Bordeaux for the transfer of Mariano, with the player signing a three-year deal.
International career
In September, 2010, Mariano was called up for the first time to Brazilian team. In March 24, 2017, he backs to Seleção Canarinha, being called up by Tite, to represent his nation against Paraguay. He substitutes Daniel Alves, suspended after receiving a yellow card.
