About José Dominguez

José Manuel Martins Dominguez (born 16 February 1974) is a Portuguese professional football manager and former player. As a player, he was a diminutive winger with above-average technical skills and speed. He started playing professional football not in his own country but in England with Birmingham City. After two years with Sporting CP, he returned to England for three years with Tottenham Hotspur, then spent another three with German club 1. FC Kaiserslautern and had short spells in Qatar and Brazil. Dominguez represented Portugal at youth level, then won three caps for the senior team in the 90s. Dominguez won the 1998–99 League Cup with Spurs as an unused substitute in the final, but fell out of favour during the following season under George Graham, who demoted him to the reserves. While at Sporting, Dominguez won three caps for Portugal.
