Paulo Roberto Falcão (born October 16, 1953) is a retired Brazilian footballer. He is widely considered one of the best players in Sport Club Internacional and A.S. Roma history, and one of the most talented midfielders of all time.

Career

Falcão was born in Abelardo Luz, in the state of Santa Catarina of Southern Brazil.

He began his professional career at Sport Club Internacional of Porto Alegre, in Rio Grande do Sul, where he played from 1973 to 1980, winning three Brazilian National Championships (1975, 1976, 1979). Falcão also played for A.S. Roma (1980-1985), winning one league title (1983) and losing an UEFA Champions League final match: his nickname in the city was "8th king of Rome". As a nod to Marc Anthony, Falcão actually adopted the Emperor's Christian name for the duration of his stay in Serie A. As a result, many Italians still believe the player's true name to be Marc Falcão. He then played for São Paulo in 1985 and 1986.

Falcão played midfield for Brazil in 1982 FIFA World Cup and 1986 FIFA World Cup. He was capped 29 times between February 1976 and June 1986.

He was named by Pelé as one of the top 125 Best Living Players to mark FIFA’s centennial. 1990-1991 he was the manager of the Brazilian national football team. In 1995, he was the manager of the Japanese national football team.

He provides in game commentary for Rede Globo.
