Murilo Endres is a Brazilian volleyball player known for his accomplished career as an outside hitter with the Brazil men's national volleyball team, where he won two Olympic silver medals and multiple FIVB world titles while earning individual MVP honors. He secured silver medals at the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Olympic Games, the latter of which saw him named tournament MVP for his exceptional attacking and receiving skills despite his relatively modest height for the position. Endres also contributed to Brazil's dominance in other major competitions, including gold medals at the FIVB World Championships in 2006 and 2010, five FIVB World League titles, and two FIVB Grand Champions Cup victories, establishing himself as one of the standout players of his generation. He retired from the national team in 2016 at age 35 following a calf injury that limited his play and led to his exclusion from the Rio Olympic roster, marking an emotional end to his international career. At the club level, Endres spent much of his career with Sesi São Paulo, helping the team capture titles such as the Brazilian Superliga, South American Championship, and multiple São Paulo state competitions before the club retired his No. 8 jersey in a surprise ceremony in 2018. His accolades include MVP awards at the 2010 World League, 2010 World Championship, and 2012 Olympics, as well as recognition as Brazil's best athlete of 2010 by the Brazilian Olympic Committee. Endres comes from a volleyball family, with his older brother Gustavo Endres earning Olympic gold in 2004 and his wife, Jaqueline Carvalho, winning Olympic gold medals with Brazil's women's team in 2008 and 2012. Throughout his career, he navigated recurring injuries, including shoulder issues, yet remained renowned for his powerful attacks, vertical leap, and defensive contributions to Brazil's highly successful era in international volleyball.

In the 2020-2021 season, at age 39, Endres successfully returned to the outside hitter position after a four-month period without training during the pandemic, allowing his body to recover sufficiently under new head coach Marcelo Negrao. He led a revamped SESI São Paulo roster featuring significantly younger players, including his nephew Eric, and was the only remaining star from previous seasons.

Retirement

Retirement

Murilo Endres announced his retirement from professional volleyball on July 22, 2023, at the age of 42. He explained that his body could no longer withstand the physical demands of the sport, stating "o corpo não aguenta mais" (the body can no longer handle it), and emphasized his intention to prioritize family life. The decision followed Sesi São Paulo's choice not to renew his contract in June 2023, concluding his 14-year tenure with the club that had provided career stability. In recent seasons, Endres had shifted positions from outside hitter to libero to adapt to physical limitations.

Endres has not announced any immediate post-retirement professional roles in volleyball, such as coaching or media involvement, and has indicated a primary focus on family responsibilities.
