Playing career
editBorn in Campinas, São Paulo, Roger was a Ponte Preta youth graduate, making his first team debut in 2003. Despite not being a regular starter in his first two years, he established himself as a first-choice during the 2005 Campeonato Paulista, where he was his club's top scorer with nine goals.
On 25 May 2005, Roger joined São Paulo for a rumoured fee of US$ 1.2 million.[1] He won the 2005 Copa Libertadores with the club, but only featured in one match during the competition.
On 18 May 2006, Roger moved on loan to Palmeiras, with Lúcio moving in the opposite direction.[2] On 1 March 2007, he returned to Ponte also in a temporary deal.[3]
On 7 March 2008, after a brief spell at Al-Nasr, Roger agreed to a loan deal with Sport Recife until the end of the year.[4] He won the year's Campeonato Pernambucano and the 2008 Copa do Brasil with the side, but left after failing to agree new terms.
On 7 January 2009, Roger moved to Fluminense on loan, as a part of the deal which saw Arouca move to São Paulo.[5] He left the club on 27 April after terminating his loan deal, and joined Vitória also in a temporary deal.[6]
On 7 May 2010, after playing the 2010 Campeonato Paulista with São Paulo, Roger was loaned to Guarani.[7] He immediately became a regular starter, scoring six goals in his first six matches, but was sold to Japanese side Kashiwa Reysol in July.[8]
Roger returned to his home country on 17 July 2011, after signing a contract with Ceará.[9] He returned to Ponte the following 26 January,[10] and scored 16 goals during the season as they avoided relegation.
On 28 December 2012, Roger returned to Sport after four years.[11] He left for Atlético Paranaense on 11 September 2013,[12] but moved to South Korean side Suwon Samsung Bluewings after the season ended.
On 24 December 2014, Roger agreed to a deal with Chapecoense for the upcoming campaign.[13] He signed for Bahia the following 11 September,[14] before moving to Red Bull Brasil on 13 January 2016.[15]
Roger was the top scorer of the 2016 Campeonato Paulista with 11 goals, and returned to Ponte for a third spell on 18 April 2016.[16] On 1 November, he moved to Botafogo,[17] and scored a career-best 17 goals during the year.
On 26 November 2017, Internacional announced the signing of Roger on a two-year deal.[18] The following 20 April, however, he moved to Corinthians on a contract until the end of 2019.[19]
On 24 January 2019, Roger returned to Ceará,[20] but rescinded his link on 16 May to return to Ponte.[21]
On 17 August 2020, Roger left Ponte to join Operário Ferroviário,[22] but left the club in October.[23] He agreed to a contract with Inter de Limeira on 1 December,[24] before announcing his retirement on 1 May 2021 at the age of 35; he immediately became the director of football of his last club.[25]
Coaching career
editOn 4 August 2021, Roger became an interim head coach of Inter de Limeira, after Dyego Coelho was sacked.[26] He left the club on 10 September,[27] before being named head coach of Athletic-MG on 14 October.[28]
Roger returned to Inter de Limeira on 4 April 2022, now as a permanent head coach.[29] He left on 1 August after being knocked out of the year's Série D,[30] and was announced back at Athletic on 5 October.[31]
Roger left Athletic to take over Série C side Pouso Alegre on 19 March 2023,[32] but was sacked on 3 July.[33] He was named at the helm of fellow league team Manaus on 26 July,[34] but left after suffering relegation with the club.
On 7 October 2023, Roger was announced as head coach of Uberlândia,[35] but asked to rescind his contract eighteen days later, alleging personal problems.[36] On 1 February 2024, he was appointed head coach of Primavera, replacing Ricardo Colbachini.[37]
On 5 March 2024, Roger returned to Athletic in the place of Rodrigo Santana.[38] He led the club to their first-ever promotion to the second division, and despite announcing his departure on 30 November,[39] he signed a new one-year deal on 8 December.[40]
