Magno Mocelin (born 26 February 1974), known as Magno, is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a forward.

His 15-year professional career, which was spent in four different countries, was mainly associated with Alavés in Spain, for which he appeared in 208 official games and played in one UEFA Cup final.

Football career

Born in Coritiba, Magno started playing professionally with Clube de Regatas do Flamengo and Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense. He moved overseas in 1996, playing three seasons with Dutch first division club FC Groningen and being relegated at the end of his last.

Aged 24, Magno joined La Liga side Deportivo Alavés for the 1998–99 campaign, remaining six years with the Basque and playing an important offensive role (mainly as a substitute, as the team reached the 2001 UEFA Cup final, which was lost to Liverpool in extra time, where he was sent off). He subsequently returned to the Netherlands, signing for De Graafschap.

After a season back in the Netherlands with De Graafschap – also relegated from the top level – Magno started a Cypriot adventure in 2005, first playing with AC Omonia. On 6 June 2008 he moved to fellow first division club AEK Larnaca FC, on a one-year contract.
