Club career

[edit]

A product of S.C. Braga's youth system, Cícero was in born in Seia, Guarda District. He was promoted to the first team for the 2004–05 campaign, making his official debut with the main squad in a 2–2 away draw against Académica de Coimbra on 30 August 2004.[2] On 21 November, as a second-half substitute, he scored his first Primeira Liga goal, in a 2–0 home win over G.D. Estoril Praia.[3]

In January 2005, Cícero moved to Russia for FC Dynamo Moscow as many Portuguese players – or playing in the league – during that period, agreeing to a four-year contract for a €2.5 million fee.[4] He returned to Portugal in the 2009 January transfer window, joining Braga rivals Vitória de Guimarães.[5] In the summer, he signed with Segunda Liga club U.D. Oliveirense in a season-long loan.[6]

Cícero joined FC Astana of the Kazakhstan Premier League on 25 June 2013, on a one-year loan.[7] He subsequently returned to Paços de Ferreira.[8]

In the following years, Cícero represented in quick succession Şanlıurfaspor (Turkish TFF First League), Paços de Ferreira,[9] F.C. Arouca,[10] C.D. Trofense, S.C. Beira-Mar (two spells), Anadia F.C. and S.C. Salgueiros (the last four clubs in the lower leagues of Portugal).[11][12][13][14]

International career

[edit]

Cícero represented Portugal at youth level.[15] He earned his first senior cap for Guinea-Bissau on 9 October 2010, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away loss against Angola for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
