Douglas Ricardo Grolli (born 5 October 1989), known as Douglas Grolli, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a centre-back. He spent his career in Brazil, Japan and Portugal.
Career
Grolli was born in São Miguel do Oeste, Santa Catarina, and was a Chapecoense youth graduate. Promoted to the first team in 2008, he only became a regular starter during the 2011 season, as his side was crowned champions of Campeonato Catarinense.
On 14 October 2011, Grolli signed for Série A club Grêmio.[2] A fourth choice behind Werley, Vilson and Naldo, he made his debut in the category on 17 June 2012, coming on as a first-half substitute for the former in a 0–1 away loss against Náutico; he was also sent off during the match.[3]
On 13 May 2013, Grolli was loaned to São Caetano until the end of the year.[4] On 27 December, he moved to Londrina also in a temporary deal, but after appearing sparingly,[5] he returned to Chapecoense the following 30 July, on loan until December.[6]
On 9 February 2015, Grolli signed a permanent deal with Cruzeiro.[7] Again rarely used, he served subsequent loans at Ponte Preta[8] and Chapecoense.[9]
On 4 January 2019, Grolli signed a contract with Marítimo.[10]
After five seasons with Japanese club Avispa Fukuoka, Douglas Grolli moved to Liga Portugal 2 club Portimonense S.C. after his contract expired at the end of the 2024 Japanese league season.[11] On 10 January 2026, after spending one-and-a-half seasons with the Portimão-based side, he terminated his contract and retired.[12]
