He also spent two and a half seasons in Spain with Valencia and three and a half in Turkey with Trabzonspor, winning the 2019–20 Turkish Cup before returning to Sporting in February 2021, where he again won the domestic league, eventually amassing Primeira Liga totals of 233 matches and nine goals. Internationally, he represented Portugal at Euro 2012 and the 2014 World Cup.
After retiring in 2022, Pereira began his coaching career at Sporting's reserves, before taking charge of the first team in November 2024. He left his position one month later. Wikipedia text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License - Full article |
