About José Moreira

José Filipe da Silva Moreira is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. The 2007–08 campaign brought a new challenge to Moreira, as the club signed 33-year-old Hans-Jörg Butt, known for taking free kicks and penalties. In a turbulent 2008–09, where all three goalkeepers went from first to third-choice in a matter of weeks, Moreira appeared in 14 league matches as Benfica finished third. He started on 9 March 2002 in the 2–0 away win over Gil Vicente F.C. and, when German Enke left at the end of the season for Spain's FC Barcelona, he became first-choice from then on. He contributed 15 games as the side won the Primeira Liga title after 11 years but, on 18 October 2005, underwent surgery to his right knee, missing most of 2005–06.
