Michel Garbini Pereira (born 9 June 1981), commonly known as Michel, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a left back for Miami FC in the North American Soccer League.
Michel began his career at Atlético Mineiro, before moving to Belgian Pro League side Standard Liège in 2004. After two seasons Michel returned to Brazil and signed with Campeonato Brasileiro Série A outfit Atlético Paranaense. Subsequently he played for Náutico and Vila Nova.
In 2010, he moved to Superleague Greece club Aris, where he immediately established himself as a regular in the team. In the 2010–11 season, Michel played in almost all of the matches for Aris, including all twelve Europa League games.
After impressing as a trialist during preseason training camp, Michel signed for Major League Soccer club FC Dallas on 19 February 2013. During his time with the club, he became known as a threat on set pieces with his left foot. He scored his first MLS goal directly from a corner kick during a 4–2 loss at Seattle Sounders FC on 18 May 2013. Although he originally came to the club as a left back, he eventually earned most of his playing time at defensive midfielder. Due to the emergence of Victor Ulloa and Kellyn Acosta, Michel's playing time was limited in 2015. After the season, his contract option was declined by the club.
