Club career

Italy

Born in Lisbon, Pires spent ten years at the Sporting Clube de Portugal academy, but could never represent the club as a senior. He signed with Italian side Genoa C.F.C. in the 2006 summer, [1] but was limited to reserve team football during his spell, also being loaned to AC Lugano in the Swiss Challenge League along with Alessandro Di Maio, Rivaldo González and Diogo Tavares and to Potenza S.C. alongside José Mamede. [2]

Tiago was an unused substitute for Potenza at the start of 2008–09 season. [3]

Portugal

Pires returned to his country in the 2009 off-season, going on to have one-season spells in the third division with CD Operário, Juventude Sport Clube, Atlético SC, U.D. Leiria and Associação Naval 1º de Maio. He moved back to Switzerland in 2014, joining amateurs (sixth level) AC Vallemaggia.
