Márcio José de Oliveira (born 20 July 1984), or simply Marcinho, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
Career Marcinho was born in Irapuã. He began his career with Cruzeiro and was part of the squad that won the Brazilian Cup and Brasileirao double in 2003. In 2005, he transferred to Grêmio.
In July 2005, he had his first foreign league experience, joining Gençlerbirliği in the Turkish Super Lig. However, by December of the same year he had only made 5 appearances, only starting once. Facing a lack of opportunities, Marcinho returned to Brazil in January 2006 wearing the shirt of Atlético Mineiro. He was an instrumental player for "O Galo" in that campaign, scoring 7 goals and helping the club return to the top flight.
In 2008, Marcinho arrived in Flamengo and had a very productive season. He made 38 appearances and was the team's top scorer with 17 goals. His most notable performances were; a hat trick against Figueirense (5-0), goal and assist against Santos, and two goals in the Copa Libertadores round of 16 against Club América (4-2). Despite a stellar performance in the first leg away from home, Flamengo suffered a 3-0 defeat in the Maracanã Stadium and were eliminated. Marcinho left the club halfway through the 2008 season, having won the 2008 Campeonato Carioca.
Marcinho signed with Qatar SC and played at the club until 2014.
For 2014-15 season he played with Vitoria.
