Leandro Lourenço Franco (born August 10, 1981 in Pouso Alegre), commonly known as Lê, is a Brazilian football forward.

Club career

After playing with South American giants Colo-Colo in 2005,[3][4][5] he got offers to play in well known Mexican teams, such as Cruz Azul. Then went on to play in Super League Greece team Atromitos. His team relegated to Beta Ethniki, so he looked for new options. He finally got an offer to play for Águila, one of the biggest clubs in El Salvador and Central America. In 2009, he signed a one-year contract with fellow Salvadorans Luis Ángel Firpo. Then, in 2010 he moved back to his native Brazil to play with Marília Atlético Clube only to join Sport Boys in Peru in 2011 and 2013.[6] In that country, he also played for Sporting Cristal[3] and León de Huánuco.

Post-retirement

He has served as coach for football academies in his homeland and took part in sport events alongside the former futsal player Falcão.[3]
