Contents

He amassed Segunda Liga totals of 230 games and 27 goals over 11 seasons, mainly with Varzim.

Playing career

Gomes was born in Lisbon. An unsuccessful youth graduate from Sporting CP's famed youth system, he made his professional debut with F.C. Felgueiras, moving in January 2001 to S.C. Campomaiorense in what would be his first Primeira Liga experience, with relegation.

Gomes then returned for the following seven seasons to the Segunda Liga, with G.D. Chaves (two years) and Varzim SC. At the end of 2008–09, in which he scored seven league goals for the latter side, [1] he had an unsuccessful trial with Luton Town of the English Football League Two, but eventually signed with U.D. Leiria which had recently returned to the second division.

After no competitive appearances for Leiria in the 2009–10 campaign, Gomes was released and joined second-tier club S.C. Covilhã. He retired at the age of 35, after two years in the Cypriot Second Division with as many teams.

Coaching career

Gomes began working as a youth manager in Cyprus, returning to Portugal in 2017 to take charge of C.D. Cova da Piedade's under-17 squad. [2] The following year, he joined Chicago Fire FC as an assistant, later revealing that he got the job through his friend and former Varzim teammate Aleksandar Sarić, who worked at the American club as goalkeeper coach. [2]

In December 2018, Gomes was appointed assistant manager at Chaves. [3] On 8 September 2020, in the same capacity, he moved to Reading of the EFL Championship. [4]

Gomes subsequently worked in the Liga MX under Veljko Paunović, at C.D. Guadalajara [5] and Tigres UANL. [6]
