Personal life

Club career

São Paulo

Breno was a member of the Brazil U-23. After making their first team, he signed a new four-year contract with São Paulo in July 2007.

Bayern Munich

In December 2007, Breno officially signed for Bayern Munich for the release clause of 12 million euro, signing a four and a half year deal with the German side.[2] Along with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Milan, Juventus and Fiorentina were also interested in signing him.[3] However, Breno refused to sign with Real Madrid after they wanted a bone analysis to prove his young age.[4]

Breno was recommended to Bayern Munich by one of their former players, Giovane Élber, who was later on recruited as a scout in his native country, Brazil.

He played his first competitive match for Bayern Munich against Anderlecht in a UEFA Cup knock-out stage match. The game finished off in a 2–1 defeat.

Nürnberg

After two years for FC Bayern Munich, playing 22 games, he was loaned out to 1. FC Nürnberg on 31 December 2009.[5] On 7 March 2010, he sustained a cruciate ligament injury, ending his season prematurely and also keeping him out of action for most of autumn during Bayern Munich's 2010–11 season.

Return to Bayern Munich

On 14 November 2010, Breno returned to first team action, playing in the 3–0 home win against his former club 1. FC Nürnberg. Borges has generally served as an understudy to German international Holger Badstuber. On 5 March 2011, he was sent off in the 1–3 away loss to Hannover 96.

Return to São Paulo

Waiting for a German justice decision, São Paulo FC registered, on 20 December 2012, Breno as player for the 2013 season. His contract with the Brazilian side ends on 7 October 2015.[6][7]

His move to São Paulo was officially confirmed by the Brazilian club on 19 December 2014.[8]

Arrest

On 24 September 2011, Breno was arrested after the Munich public prosecutor had issued an arrest warrant for suspicion of suppression of evidence and the fact that he may be a possible flight risk.[9][10] The reasoning for the arrest is "suspicion of aggravated arson" in regards to the almost total destruction of his villa in a suspicious fire.[9][10] The damage to his villa is estimated to be €1.5 million.[10][11] Bayern Munich made no comment on the arrest.[9] Club officials had previously advised him to seek help from a psychiatrist in regards to injury frustrations, which some fear are career ending.[10][11] On 6 October 2011, he was released on bail.[12] On 11 April 2012, German prosecutors charged Breno over arson in connection with the fire that burned down his rented villa. On 4 July 2012, Breno was handed a jail sentence of three years and nine months.[13] After the sentences, German court announced that Breno will be deported to Brazil upon completion of his prison sentence.[14] Breno's sentences was spoken out by sportspersons additionally, sportspersons like Giovane Élber[14] and Uli Hoeneß,[15] though his comment was criticised by Nürnberg director of football Martin Bader and Eintracht Frankfurt executive chairman Heribert Bruchhagen,[16] In January 2013, Breno's proposal for his revised sentence was rejected by the German Federal Court, due to his situation did not constitute a formal error of law, after his lawyer says he was under the influence of potentially dangerous medication which could have caused the events which lead to his imprisonment.[17]

In May 2013, Breno was used by president of Bayern Munich, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, as an example of neglect from CBF. For Rummenigge, while the Brazilians struggled for liberation of Dante and Luiz Gustavo to play in the 2013 Confederations Cup, the defender, on the other hand, was abandoned.[18]

On 19 August 2013, Breno was released from Stadelheim Prison on day release, and was employed by former club FC Bayern Munich as a trainer for the Under-23 squad.[19]
