Felipe Augusto de Almeida Monteiro (born 16 May 1989), known simply as Felipe or Felipe Monteiro, is a former Brazilian professional footballer who played as a centre-back.

Felipe began his career with União Mogi and was loaned to Bragantino before joining Corinthians in 2012. He played 109 times for the club, winning honours including the 2012 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2015 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. In 2016, he joined Porto, where he won a Primeira Liga title in 2018. The following year, he signed for Atlético Madrid, and won La Liga in 2021. In January 2023, he joined Nottingham Forest.

He made his senior international debut for Brazil in 2018, and was part of their squad that came runners-up at the 2021 Copa América.

Club career

Early career

Born in São Paulo and raised in Mogi das Cruzes, Felipe trialled at Sport Club Corinthians Paulista at the age of 14 but was released. He then worked for his mother-in-law, delivering mushrooms to restaurants, while playing for Valtra, a tractor company works team partnered with União Futebol Clube.[3] He turned professional there, and debuted in the Campeonato Paulista Série A2 in 2009. After playing two friendlies against Clube Atlético Bragantino of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B in 2011, he signed for them on loan. He then won the attention of Corinthians.[4]

Corinthians

With only 88 minutes of football to his name in his first year for Corinthians, he was a surprise inclusion for the squad chosen by manager Tite for the 2012 FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.[3] He was unused as his club won the title against Chelsea.

In the 2015 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Felipe played 26 games as Corinthians won the national title. He scored his first goal in the competition on 26 July in a 1–1 draw at Coritiba Foot Ball Club,[5] and on 9 August he was sent off in a game of the same result at city rivals São Paulo FC.[6]

Porto

On 15 June 2016, Felipe moved abroad for the first time, signing a five-year deal at FC Porto.[7] He made his debut on 12 August as they began their season with a 3–1 win at Rio Ave FC.[8] On 23 August, he opened the scoring in a 3–0 win at A.S. Roma in the UEFA Champions League playoff to put Porto into the group stages 4–1 on aggregate,[9] and five days later he scored a first league goal to open a 2–1 loss at rivals Sporting CP.[10]

In 2017–18, Porto won the league and Felipe was one of five club players named in the Team of the Year, alongside his fellow defenders Alex Telles and Ricardo Pereira.[11] On 3 January he headed the winner at C.D. Feirense (2–1) then was sent off for a second yellow card.[12]

On 2 April 2019, Felipe was sent off in a 1–1 draw at S.C. Braga, though his team advanced to the 2019 Taça de Portugal Final 4–1 on aggregate.[13] Due to his accumulation of yellow cards over the season, he missed the next two league matches.[14] In the final on 25 May at the Estádio Nacional, he scored in added time at the end of extra time to secure a 2–2 draw with Sporting, but the Lisbon team won on penalties.[15]

Atlético Madrid

On 27 May 2019, Felipe signed for Atlético Madrid for a fee of €20 million. The Colchoneros were seeking to boost their defence after the recent losses of Diego Godín, Juanfran and Lucas Hernandez.[16] He scored his first goal for the club in 2–0 UEFA Champions League last matchday win against FC Lokomotiv Moscow on 11 December, qualifying his team to the knockout phase.[17]

In 25 games for his first domestic season, Felipe scored once to win a 2–1 home game against Levante UD, with all goals scored by the 18th minute.[18] His form dropped as the 2019–20 season concluded after a three-month COVID-19 lockdown, and the following season he fought for a place in the central defence alongside José María Giménez, Stefan Savić and Mario Hermoso, nonetheless being the most played of the four as the team won the league.[19]

In 2021–22, Felipe was sent off three times in all competitions, including twice in the Champions League. In a group game against Liverpool, he was dismissed with a straight red for a foul on Sadio Mané,[20] while in the quarter-finals against another English team Manchester City he got two yellows for fouls on Phil Foden, prompting a melee.[21]

Nottingham Forest

Felipe joined Premier League side Nottingham Forest on an 18-month deal on deadline day, 31 January 2023.[22] He made his debut 11 days later in a 2–0 loss at Fulham, as a seventh-minute substitute for the injured Scott McKenna; he made five clearances and as many interceptions, and was called "combative" and "assured" in a match report by The Athletic.[23]

Felipe left Forest at the end of the 2023-24 season, retiring from football in the process.[24]

International career

Felipe was called up to Brazil's squad by coach Dunga for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Paraguay in March 2016, to replace the suspended David Luiz.[25] He made his debut for the national team on 11 September 2018, in a 5–0 friendly win against El Salvador at FedExField in the United States. His Porto teammate Éder Militão debuted in the same game.[26]

Felipe's second game came on 9 October 2020 in a 5–0 rout of Bolivia at his former club ground of Arena Corinthians, as a 71st-minute substitute for Thiago Silva in the first game of 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification.[27] He was included in the squad for the 2021 Copa América on home soil,[28] but left the team, which finished runners-up, due to a right knee sprain.[29]

Personal life

Felipe was naturalised as a Spanish citizen in April 2022, which freed up a space for a non-European Union player at Atlético Madrid.[30]
