Just after leaving V.League, Brazilian star immediately recruited by coach Park Hang Seo

The side managed by Park Hang Seo recently signed Brazilian defender Patrick Marcelino following his departure from Ninh Binh.

Kanchanaburi Power FC continues to show their great ambition ahead of the 2026/27 season by successfully acquiring Brazilian center-back Patrick Marcelino. The player, who previously played for Ninh Binh in V-League, will become one of the notable figures in the squad of the Thai club, where Park Hang Seo is serving as head coach.

According to Thai media, Patrick Marcelino is the second foreign signing announced by Kanchanaburi Power FC this transfer window, following veteran midfielder John Baggio. The consecutive additions of experienced players indicate that Park Hang Seo's team is determined to strengthen their squad with the aim of competing for top positions in Thai League 2.

Standing at an impressive 1.89m, Patrick Marcelino possesses extensive experience playing in various football environments. Before coming to Vietnam, the Brazilian center-back played in the Iraqi Premier League as well as Brazil's Serie B. His professional foundation and strong defensive abilities make him a quality addition to Kanchanaburi Power FC's backline.

Last season, Patrick Marcelino played for Ninh Binh and contributed to the team's positive results in V-League. Although not the most prominent star in the lineup, the Brazilian defender was highly regarded for his consistency, leadership in defense, and international experience. However, after the season concluded, he was among the foreign players released by the club from the ancient capital.

Before Patrick Marcelino, Ninh Binh also bid farewell to Gustavo Henrique and Daniel Dos Anjos. The club's management expressed gratitude to the trio of foreign players for their contributions during their time with the team. This decision is seen as part of a squad restructuring plan to prepare for new objectives in the upcoming season.

On Kanchanaburi Power FC's side, the arrival of Patrick Marcelino is expected to significantly strengthen their defense. Under the guidance of coach Park Hang Seo, the Thai representative is gradually building a squad capable of competing for promotion. The recruitment of a player who has competed in V-League also highlights the growing appeal of the project that the Korean tactician is developing at Kanchanaburi.
