About Domingos Paciência
Domingos José Paciência Oliveira, known simply as Domingos as a player (Portuguese pronunciation: [duˈmĩɡuʃ]; born 2 January 1969), is a Portuguese former footballer who played as a striker, currently a manager. He achieved success with both Porto and the Portugal national team, appearing in 380 official matches with the former over 12 seasons (nearly 150 goals) and representing the latter at Euro 1996. After completing his accreditation in 2005, Domingos resumed his career as a manager, notably helping Braga reach the 2011 Europa League final. == Playing career == A Porto trainee since he was 13, Domingos was born in Leça da Palmeira, Matosinhos, and proved to be an above-average scorer despite being physically weak. Tomislav Ivić eventually decided he should be the replacement for an ageing Fernando Gomes, and made his debut with the first team at age 19, being crowned top scorer in the Primeira Liga in the 1995–96 season. Previously, in 1990–91, he was involved in a last-matchday battle for the Bola de Prata award with Benfica's Rui Águas, with Águas' team having won the championship the game before: Domingos played first, putting four past Vitória de Guimarães in a 5–0 home win, going from 20 to 24 goals. Águas appeared hours later against Beira-Mar, and scored two second-half goals in an eventual 3–0 victory, finishing with 25. In 1997–98, Domingos moved to the Canary Islands' Tenerife, one year after Porto signed prolific striker Mário Jardel. There, he teamed up with Roy Makaay, but never fully adapted to La Liga, netting only once in his final season – which ended in relegation– in a 1–2 home loss to Alavés. Domingos eventually returned to Porto two years later, who outbid Sporting CP at the eleventh hour.
