Diego Gonçalves (born 22 July 1994), simply known as Diego, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Portuguesa as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

Born in Guarujá, São Paulo, Diego played for AA Ponte Preta and Fluminense FC's youth systems, after starting it out at seven-a-side football with Gamma Esportes and AE Barra Funda. On 21 July 2013 he moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Portuguese side S.C. Olhanense.

Diego made his professional debut on 17 August 2013, starting in a 0–2 away loss against Vitória S.C. for the Primeira Liga championship. He was regularly used under manager Abel Xavier, but after the arrival of Paulo Alves, he lost his starting spot and rescinded his link on 27 November.

On 26 January 2014 Diego went on a trial at Atlético Clube de Portugal, signing a contract shortly after. He left the side at the end of the campaign, after appearing sparingly.

On 5 January 2015 Diego signed for Portuguesa, freshly relegated to Série C. He made his debut for the club on 1 February, starting and scoring the first in a 3–2 away win against Ponte Preta for the Campeonato Paulista championship.
