Magno Mocelin, known as Magno (born 26 February 1974 in Coritiba), is a retired Brazilian footballer who played as a forward.

His 15-year professional career, which was spent in four different countries, was mainly associated with Alavés in Spain, for which he appeared in more than 200 official games and played in one UEFA Cup final.

Football career

Magno started playing professionally in Brazil with Clube de Regatas do Flamengo (two spells) and Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense. He moved overseas in 1996, playing three seasons with Dutch first division outfit FC Groningen, being relegated at the end of his second season.

Aged 24, Magno joined La Liga side Deportivo Alavés in the 1998–99 season, remaining six years with the Basque and playing an important offensive role (mainly as a substitute, as the club reached the 2001 UEFA Cup final, which was lost to Liverpool in extra time, where he was sent off) and De Graafschap.

After a season back in the Netherlands with De Graafschap (also relegated from the top level), Magno started a Cypriot adventure in 2005, first playing with AC Omonia. On 6 June 2008, he joined fellow first division side AEK Larnaca FC, on a one-year contract.
