Cléver Marcelo Romero Silva (born 4 July 1976) is a Uruguayan retired footballer who played as a defensive midfielder, and is a manager.
After emerging at Peñarol he spent seven years of his professional career in Spain, notably at the service of Málaga (six seasons), and played for Uruguay at the 2002 World Cup.
[1] In early 2008 he had a brief spell with neighbours Lucena CF of Segunda División B[1] and, on 4 February 2009, signed with Carolina RailHawks FC of the USL First Division.
[2] It quickly became apparent that he had suffered significant knee injuries which were not widely publicised, but subsequently all was revealed; physical problems limited him to one substitute appearance in a pre-season exhibition game, and he was released in April without having featured in the league.
After taking part in two Copa América editions,[6][7] he played two games for his country at the 2002 FIFA World Cup (the group stage draws to France and Senegal).
