Hannover complete Brazilian defender Marcelo switch

Bundesliga side Hannover have completed the signing of Brazilian center back Marcelo from PSV Eindhoven on a four year deal for an undisclosed fee.

The tall center half was a regular for the Eredivisie club and makes his move to the AWD Arena after spending three years at the Dutch club.


The former Brazil U 20 international is scheduled to participate in his first training session with his new team mates on Tuesday.


Hannover coach Mirko Slomka told the club's official website: "Marcelo was a regular starter at PSV Eindhoven and has the qualities that you look for in a modern-day central defender: consistent tackling, physical presence and good play from the back.


"He also impressed during the friendly match in the HDI Arena a few weeks ago. I'm delighted he's decided to join 96."
