Adriano Fabiano Rossato (born 27 August 1977 in Vila Velha, Espírito Santo) is a Brazilian former footballer who played as a left back, and is a manager.

Football career

During his Brazilian career, free kick specialist Rossato represented Botafogo, Rio Branco-ES, Criciúma, Portuguesa-RJ, União Barbarense and Marília, moving to Portugal in July 2002 with Madeira's Nacional. During two seasons he scored an impressive 17 Primeira Liga goals, including a hat-trick against Beira-Mar on 25 April 2004 (3–0 home win).[1]

Bought by Porto in July 2004, Rossato never played an official game for the northerners. He then joined La Liga side Real Sociedad,[2] scoring – from a free kick – in only his second season appearance, a 1–2 loss to Sevilla,[3] finishing with 22 matches.

For 2005–06, Rossato was loaned back to Portugal, signing with Braga on a one-year deal.[4] Having returned to Sociedad for the following campaign, he returned - again on loan - to the Iberian neighbours, moving to União Leiria in January 2007.[5]

Released in the summer of 2007, Rossato joined second division team Málaga, being instrumental in the Andalusians' 2008 top flight return after a two-year absence. He would miss, however, the vast majority of the next season due to injury;[6][7] his first match took place only on 17 May 2009, as he played the second half of a 1–2 away loss to Sporting Gijón (12 minutes played).[8]

Because of his injuries, Málaga announced in July 2009 it would not renew Rossato's contract, so the player was released. Late in the following month the 32-year-old signed for another club in the country, second level's Salamanca.[9][10]
