Rogério Mücke Ceni, a Brazilian football manager and former player who is the current manager of São Paulo FC is considered one of the all – time greatest Brazilian goalkeepers and is recognised by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics as the goalkeeper to have scored the most goals in the history of football.
Most of Ceni’s vast professional career, which had spanned 25 years and 1257 professional club matches, was associated with São Paulo, with which he won 20 major titles, three Brazilian Leagues, two Copa Libertadores and the 2005 FIFA Club World Cup. He also scored 131 goals during his career, with most of them coming from free kicks and penalties and one coming from open play.
In 2005, Brazilian goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni opted to wear the shirt number 618 before Sao Paulo’s match against Atletico Mineiro, which happened to be his 618th game, to celebrate breaking the club’s appearance record. Ceni would go on to make a total of 1,237 appearances for Sao Paulo, scoring 131 goals (a world record for a goalkeeper)- and he is currently the club’s manager.
Ceni also represented Brazil 18 times over the course of his career, being part of the squads that won the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup, and also taking part at the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
