'''Ramon Menezes Hubner''' (born 30 June 1972), simply known as '''Ramon Menezes''' or just '''Ramon''', is a Brazilian professional [[Association football|football]] manager and former player who played as an [[attacking midfielder]]. He is the current manager of the [[Brazil national under-20 football team|Brazilian under-20 national team]].

Ramon spent the most of his career in his native Brazil, where he appeared in more than 350 matches and scored 98 goals. Mainly linked to [[Cruzeiro Esporte Clube|Cruzeiro]], [[CR Vasco da Gama|Vasco da Gama]] and [[Esporte Clube Vitória|Vitória]], he also played abroad for [[Bayer 04 Leverkusen|Bayer Leverkusen]], [[Tokyo Verdy]] and [[Al-Gharafa Sports Club|Al-Gharafa]] before retiring with [[Associação Desportiva Cabofriense|Cabofriense]] in 2013.

He was capped six times for [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], scoring once.

==Playing career==
===Club===
Ramon was born in [[Contagem]], [[Minas Gerais]] and joined [[Cruzeiro Esporte Clube|Cruzeiro]] in his youth. He made his first team debut on 18 October 1987, starting in a 0–0 [[Copa União]] away draw against [[CR Flamengo|Flamengo]].

Ramon scored his first senior goal on 17 March 1988, netting Cruzeiro's third in a 3–0 home win over [[Rio Branco de Andradas Futebol Clube|Rio Branco de Andradas]], for the year's [[Campeonato Mineiro]]. He was regularly used during the 1990 season, but later fell down the pecking order.

Ramon spent two periods on loan at [[Esporte Clube Bahia|Bahia]] (two months in 1992 and in 1993), but also featured sparingly. He moved to state rivals [[Esporte Clube Vitória|Vitória]] in the following year, becoming an immediate starter and scoring a career-best 25 goals in the 1995 [[Campeonato Baiano]].

After impressing for Vitória, Ramon moved abroad and joined [[Bundesliga]] side [[Bayer 04 Leverkusen]]. He returned to his home country in 1996, signing for [[CR Vasco da Gama|Vasco da Gama]], and was an important unit in the club's winning run, as he lifted the [[1997 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A]], the 1998 [[Campeonato Carioca]], the [[1998 Copa Libertadores]] and the 1999 [[Torneio Rio – São Paulo]].

In 2000, Ramon moved to [[Clube Atlético Mineiro|Atlético Mineiro]] and scored the goal of the title of the year's [[Campeonato Mineiro]]. He subsequently agreed to a loan deal with [[Fluminense FC|Fluminense]] in the following year,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/esporte/fk1103200113.htm|title=Fluminense contrata Viveros e Ramón|trans-title=Fluminense sign Viveros and Ramón|publisher=[[Folha de S. Paulo]]|language=pt-BR|date=11 March 2001|access-date=27 August 2020}}</ref> being notably recognised by his [[Free kick (association football)|free kick]] goals.

Ramon then returned to Atlético before rejoining Vasco in 2002, where he scored 15 goals in 17 league appearances to help the side avoid relegation. On 3 January 2003, he left the latter club and joined [[Tokyo Verdy]] on an 11-month contract.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/ESP/Noticia/Arquivo/0,,AA462491-4274,00-RAMON+DEIXA+O+VASCO+E+VAI+PARA+O+VERDY+TOKYO.html|title=Ramon deixa o Vasco e vai para o Verdy Tokyo|trans-title=Ramon leaves Vasco and goes to Verdy Tokyo|publisher=[[Globo Esporte]]|language=pt-BR|date=3 January 2003|access-date=27 August 2020}}</ref>
