==Club career== ===Grêmio=== Fernandes joined Grêmio in March 2009, signing until 2014. A few days later, he disappeared, and Brazilian police were called in to search for him. He was found some days later in São Paulo state, after having withdrawn cash in Londrina, Porto Alegre and Florianópolis. Fernandes made his debut for the club against Sport on 28 June 2009. Fernandes established himself as Grêmio's first-choice right back.<ref name = goal>{{Cite news|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/russias-brazilian-right-back-who-overcame-depression-to-star/d3ycupe7m8dx117xoo9x3pek5|title=Who is Mario Fernandes?

===CSKA Moscow=== On 25 April 2012, the Grêmio president announced that a 15 million euro deal had been agreed with CSKA Moscow and Fernandes was set to join them pending a medical examination, with CSKA announcing the arrival on 4 May 2012.<ref>{{cite web |script-title=ru:Фернандес стал армейцем |url=https://www.pfc-cska.com/novosti/vse-novosti/novosti-osnovy/fernandes-stal-armejcem-8/ |website=pfc-cska.com |publisher=PFC CSKA Moscow |access-date=7 June 2018 |language=ru |date=4 May 2012}}</ref>
During the 2013–14 campaign he suffered a knee injury ruling him out for the first four months of the season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.championat.com/football/news-1544462-zashhitnik-cska-fernandes-vernjotsja-v-stroj-cherez-tri-mesjaca.html|title=Защитник ЦСКА Фернандес вернётся в строй через три месяца|language=ru|publisher=Championat|access-date=26 November 2019}}</ref>
In 2015, he was a key player in the Champions League 3rd qualifying round – CSKA Moscow won the second leg against Sparta Prague 3–2. Fernandes played 90 minutes, after 64 minutes (2:2) and after a run of the mill challenge Fernandes made a simulated dive, referee Paolo Mazzoleni showed Marek Matějovský the red card. Russian daily Kommersant wrote it was "An important theatre piece". Czech newspapers claimed the play was certainly not card worthy and Fernandes lacked fair play.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fotbal.idnes.cz/ladislav-krejci-po-vyrazeni-v-predkole-ligy-mistru-od-cska-moskva-p9m-/fot_pohary.aspx?c=A150805_222436_fot_pohary_min|title=Dal zase gól, ale nestačilo to.

==International career== ===Brazil=== In 2011, Fernandes was called to the Brazil squad for the Superclásico de las Américas, which he rejected, citing personal issues. Fernandes went on to make his debut, and only appearance for Brazil in a 4–0 friendly victory against Japan on 14 October 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2014/10/14/world/friendlies/japan/brazil/1886167/|title=JAPAN VS.

==Personal life== Fernandes was born in São Paulo. Right after signing his first professional contract with Grêmio, Fernandes found it hard to adjust to a new home and fell into depression, prompting him to disappear to his uncle. The police found him in a dishevelled state nearly 700 miles away from Porto Alegre, hungry and exhausted. In a later interview he refused to disclose why he made no attempt to contact the club during this time, but pointed out the difficulties of settling at the beginning of a career, citing the example of Jesús Navas.<ref name = goal /> He underwent psychotherapy to deal with his depression, which helped his performances, but still drank heavily, regularly went out clubbing, and neglected his diet and fitness, saying "I would drink so much that I would sometimes show up drunk to training". During this time he lived alone, and in an interview admitted to "eating pizza and McDonald's every day", which led to action on the part of the Gremio dietitian.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/mario-fernandes-swapping-brazil-russia-12864883| title= Mario Fernandes on swapping Brazil for Russia, getting 'kidnapped', drink problems, living on pizza and World Cup 2018| last = McDonnel| first = David| date = 7 July 2018| work = Mirror| access-date = 12 July 2018}}</ref>
Fernandes had spoken with CSKA CEO Roman Babaev about the possibility of receiving Russian citizenship in 2015, before he had been called up to the Brazil squad. His talks about receiving Russian citizenship resumed in the autumn of the same year, at which point he had decided and had the full support of his family to do so.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=https://rg.ru/2017/10/05/mario-fernandes-vsegda-proshu-mamu-chtoby-ona-prigotovila-mne-borshch.html|script-title=ru:Марио Фернандес: Всегда прошу маму, чтобы она приготовила мне борщ|date=8 October 2017|work=Российская газета|access-date=9 July 2018|language=ru}}</ref> On 13 July 2016, he received Russian citizenship via presidential decree from Vladimir Putin, which according to him made him more determined to start for Russia in the World Cup.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=President of Russia|url=http://publication.pravo.gov.ru/Document/View/0001201607130022|title=President of Russia decree on citizenship|date=13 July 2016|language=ru}}</ref> His younger brother, Jô, is also a footballer.<ref name="GE">[http://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/noticia/2011/06/gremio-contrata-atacante-jo-irmao-de-mario-fernandes.html Grêmio contrata atacante Jô, irmão de Mário Fernandes (Grêmio signs forward Jô, brother of Mário Fernandes)]; ''Globo Esporte'', 8 June 2011 {{in lang|pt}}</ref>
