Fernando Menegazzo (born 3 May 1981), simply known as Fernando, is a former Brazilian professional footballer who played as a central midfielder.

Career

Fernando was born in Anita Garibaldi. He joined French Ligue 1 side FC Girondins de Bordeaux in summer 2005, on loan from A.C. Siena. He made the move permanent a year later and played an important role as Bordeaux finished as runners-up in the 2005–06 Ligue 1 season, qualifying for the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League.

In the summer of 2007, despite several of his teammates leaving the club, such as Julien Faubert, Stéphane Dalmat, Rio Mavuba and Vladimír Šmicer, he signed a new four-year contract with Bordeaux.[1]

He also won the 2007 Copa América with Brazil.

On 16 June 2011, Fernando signed a three-year deal with Saudi Arabian club Al-Shabab at the request of coach Michel Preud'homme. He moved to Club Brugge KV in June 2014, again at Preud'homme's request. He left the club in December 2014.
