Francisco das Chagas Soares dos Santos (born 17 January 1991), known as Tiquinho or Soares, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Greek club Olympiacos.
Having only played in the lower leagues of his homeland, he moved to Portugal aged 23. He played 155 Primeira Liga games for Nacional, Vitória de Guimarães and Porto, scoring 64 goals and winning two league titles with the last of those clubs.
Born in Sousa, Paraíba, but raised in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Soares started his career with Palmeiras FC das Rocas. [2] After impressing with the side he moved to América Futebol Clube (RN) in 2009, [3] initially assigned to the youth setup.
Soares made his professional debut for the latter club on 14 August 2010, coming on as a substitute in a 2–1 Série B home loss against Vila Nova Futebol Clube. [4] He only appeared in one further match in the championship, before being released on 3 September of that year. [5]
Soares subsequently represented Botafogo Futebol Clube (PB), Sousa Esporte Clube, Centro Sportivo Paraibano, Caicó Esporte Clube, [6] Visão Celeste Esporte Clube, Cerâmica Atlético Clube, [7] Treze Futebol Clube, [8] Veranópolis Esporte Clube Recreativo e Cultural, [9] Esporte Clube Pelotas [10] and Lucena Sport Clube. [11]
On 27 January 2015, Soares moved abroad for the first time in his career after signing with Primeira Liga side C.D. Nacional, still owned by CSP. [12] He made his debut for the club on 21 February, replacing Lucas João in a 3–1 away loss against S.C. Braga. [13]
Soares scored his first goal abroad on 20 April 2015, netting the equaliser in a 1–1 Madeira derby at C.S. Marítimo. [14] The following 20 March, he scored a brace in a 3–2 home win over Vitória de Guimarães. [15]
On 25 May 2016, Soares signed for Vitória de Guimarães. [16] He made his debut for his new team on 14 August, starting in a 1–0 home loss to Braga, [17] [18] and scored his first goal 12 days later in a 5–3 win against F.C. Paços de Ferreira also at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques , through a penalty. [19]
On 4 November 2016, Soares scored a double in a 2–1 home defeat of former club Nacional. [20] He finished his spell in Minho with 22 official appearances, and nine goals. [21]
On 23 January 2017, Soares signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with FC Porto, with a €40 million clause. [22] His first match took place on 4 February, when he started and netted twice in a 2–1 home victory over Sporting CP. [23]
Soares made his UEFA Champions League debut on 22 February 2017, starting in a 2–0 home loss to Juventus F.C. in the round of 16. [24] In his first full season, he scored eight goals from 24 appearances to help the club win the national championship after a five-year wait. [25]
Soares was not initially included in the 2018–19 Champions League squad by manager Sérgio Conceição, due to injury. [26] On 18 January 2019, he put three past G.D. Chaves in a 4–1 away victory, [27] his tally of 15 over the campaign eventually being the best for Porto and fourth-best in the league. [28] On 25 May he opened the scoring in the final of the Taça de Portugal and also converted his team's first shot in the penalty shootout after the 2–2 draw, but Sporting were victorious; he dedicated his goal to goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who had suffered a heart attack weeks earlier. [29]
On 27 February 2020, Soares was sent off for the first time in his career as the side lost 3–1 at home to Bayer 04 Leverkusen (5–2 aggregate) in the last 32 of the UEFA Europa League, for elbowing Jonathan Tah in the face. [30]
Soares moved to the Chinese Super League in September 2020, agreeing to a three-year and three-month deal at Tianjin TEDA FC. The transfer fee was estimated at around €10 million, as was his total salary. [31]
On 31 May 2021, Soares joined Olympiacos F.C. of the Super League Greece on a three-year contract. [32] On 22 September, he scored twice in a 4–1 home win against Apollon Smyrnis FC. [33] On 22 December, he repeated the feat in the 2–0 defeat of Levadiakos F.C. in the round of 16 of the Greek Football Cup, following assists from Mathieu Valbuena. [34]
