Portuguese footballer
João Manuel Antunes Dias (born 23 December 1986) is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a right-back.
Club career
Born in Braga, Dias played youth football with local S.C. Braga as well as FC Porto. He made his senior debut with the latter's B team, which competed in the third division. In the summer of 2006, he signed for Italian amateurs A.C. Prato.[2]
Dias first appeared at the professional level in 2008–09, with C.D. Santa Clara.[3] He scored his first goal for the Azores side the following season when he contributed to a 2–1 home win against Varzim SC,[4] and in June 2010 he joined fellow Segunda Liga club C.D. Trofense on a one-year contract.[5]
In June 2011, Dias agreed to a two-year deal at Académica de Coimbra.[6] His maiden appearance in the Primeira Liga took place on 15 August, when he played the full 90 minutes of the 2–1 away victory over U.D. Leiria.[7] During his spell at the Estádio Cidade de Coimbra, however, he was sparingly used.
In 2015, after one top-flight campaign with Boavista FC,[8] Dias returned to both Santa Clara and the second tier.
