Juliano Belletti was born on June 20, 1976, in Cascavel, Brazil. He began his football career in Brazil, playing as a central midfielder for Cruzeiro’s youth team in 1992, making his professional debut in November 1994. In March 1996, he moved to São Paulo, where he transitioned to playing as a right-back. During a loan spell at Atlético Mineiro in 1999, he played as an attacking midfielder and was recognized with the Silver Ball award for his performances. After returning to São Paulo, he regularly featured for the Brazil national team as a right-back.
In June 2002, before his World Cup win, Belletti transferred to Villarreal in Spain. He spent two successful years there, contributing to their 2003 UEFA Intertoto Cup victory and scoring key goals. His strong performances attracted the attention of FC Barcelona, who signed him in May 2004. At Barcelona, he played a crucial role in securing two La Liga titles (2004-2005, 2005-2006) and two Spanish Super Cups (2005-2006, 2006-2007). His most notable achievement with Barcelona came in the 2006 UEFA Champions League final, where he scored the winning goal against Arsenal, a memorable highlight in the club’s history. He then moved to Chelsea in August 2007, where he played for three seasons, winning the Premier League and other domestic honors. After his time in England, Belletti returned to Brazil, playing for Fluminense and Ceará Sporting Club before retiring in 2011 due to injury.
Post-retirement, Belletti transitioned into a coaching career, starting as an assistant coach at Cruzeiro in 2021. He gained his first head coaching experience with São Paulo FC’s under-20 team in 2023. In July 2024, he was appointed to coach the Barcelona U19 team, where he achieved success by winning the Copa del Rey Juvenil de Fútbol on March 16, 2025, and the UEFA Youth League on April 28, 2025. On May 30, 2025, he was appointed manager of FC Barcelona Atlètic. Throughout his career, Belletti has also served as a brand ambassador, representing FC Barcelona, Apostaquente, and participating in the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour with Coca-Cola.
