*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
António Manuel Pacheco Domingos (born 1 December 1966), known as Pacheco, is a Portuguese former footballer who played as a left winger.
Club career
Born in Portimão, Algarve, Pacheco started playing with local sides G.D. Torralta and Portimonense SC, making his debut in the Primeira Liga with the latter in the 1986–87 season. Subsequently, aged just 20, he signed for S.L. Benfica, going on to remain with the club the next six years and help to the conquest of four major titles.[1][2]
Pacheco contributed five goals in 26 matches in the 1988–89 campaign, as the Lisbon team won the national championship. He was also in the starting XI when they lost two European Cup finals in three years, in 1988[3] and 1990.[4]
Pacheco joined neighbouring Sporting CP in summer 1993, alongside teammate Paulo Sousa.[5] From there onwards, however, he received little continuity due to injuries, and totalled only 50 league appearances in five years, also representing C.F. Os Belenenses, AC Reggiana 1919 and C.D. Santa Clara; he retired in 2001 at the age of 34, after three seasons in the lower leagues.[6]
In 1996, Pacheco went on trial with Premier League club Sunderland, but was not offered a permanent contract.[7] He amassed Portuguese top-division totals of 213 games and 32 goals over one decade.
International career
Pacheco earned six caps for Portugal in two years, all as a Benfica player. His first appearance came on 15 February 1989, as he came on as a 60th-minute substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Belgium for the 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[8]
