Former São Paulo two-time Brazilian champion striker held over debt | OneFootball

Former São Paulo forward Leandro, popularly known as Leandro Guerreiro, was arrested this Wednesday (24) for failing to pay child support debt.

Leandro was taken to the 13th Police District in the Casa Verde neighborhood, in the North Zone of the city of São Paulo, where he remains detained until his legal issues are resolved.

Now 45 years old, Leandro ended his career in 2016 with Catanduvense. At Tricolor, he played between 2006 and 2007, when he won back-to-back Brazilian titles, becoming one of the symbols of those triumphs.

He became memorable to São Paulo fans for celebrating on top of the goalpost after the titles, partying with the tricolor supporters in the stadium.

Wearing the São Paulo shirt, Leandro played 116 matches, scoring 16 goals and providing 20 assists over two seasons with the Morumbi club.

The former player also played for Corinthians, Vasco, Fluminense, Grêmio, as well as in Russian and Japanese football.

Although he also won a title with rival Corinthians, Leandro became closely identified with Tricolor fans and even owns one of Morumbi’s most famous luxury boxes, always making appearances at the stadium.
