Marcelo Marelli Manhaes (born 28 January 1982) is a Brazilian football coach, currently the assistant coach of Guarani.

Career

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Marelli played youth football before retiring in 2000 to pursue a coaching career. He had an internship at Flamengo at the age of 23, working as a fitness coach of the under-15 squad, before becoming the category's head coach in 2008.[1]

Marelli worked as a coach of the under-20 team of CFZ do Rio in 2011, before joining Corinthians in the following year, as a head coach of the under-13s.[2] He left for Flamengo-SP in 2014 after a partnership between both clubs was established, and led the under-20s to the semifinals of the Campeonato Paulista Sub-20 in 2015.[3]

In February 2018, after a short period in charge of Atibaia's under-20 team, Marelli returned to Flamengo de Guarulhos and was named head coach of the first team in the Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão.[4] In January 2019, he took over Palmas,[5] but was sacked on 19 May.[6]

Marelli subsequently returned to the youth categories, being in charge of Ponte Preta's under-17 team and Bangu's under-20 squad. He later worked as an assistant of interim Júnior Martins at the latter in 2020, before being confirmed as head coach of the first team on 30 December of that year.[7]

Dismissed by Bangu on 10 April 2021,[8] Marelli returned to Flamenguinho on 11 June.[9] He left the club at the end of the 2022 season, and was named Taquaritinga head coach on 6 February 2023, shortly after being in charge of Audax's under-20 team in the year's Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.[10]

Sacked from CAT on 19 September 2024,[11] Marelli was announced at the helm of Sertãozinho the following day.[12] He led the latter club to the Campeonato Paulista Série A3 title, being chosen as the best head coach of the competition.[13]

On 22 April 2025, Marelli was announced as São José-SP head coach.[14] Despite being knocked out of the Copa Paulista in the quarterfinals, he renewed his contract with the club on 19 September,[15] but was sacked on 25 January 2026.[16]
