Rogério Paulo Cesar de Sá (born on 1 October 1964) is a South African soccer coach and former player who played as a goalkeeper. He has been a coach for the Qatari national team since 2023.
De Sá is also one of the handful of South Africans who have represented their country in three different sports – soccer, basketball and indoor soccer.
Club career
De Sá started his professional career after Kwikot Benoni coach Jingles Pereira, who knew De Sá's father, knew that the goalkeeper was not playing professional football, promptly signing the player.[2]
During his career, De Sá played for major South African clubs Moroka Swallows and Mamelodi Sundowns, both of which he captained as well.
In early 2023, De Sá was named as a coach to the Qatari national team, once again working alongside Queiroz. The three-and-a-half-year deal would see De Sá working with the team until at least July 2026.[11]
