João Moutinho
Encyclopedia
João Filipe Iria Santos Moutinho (ʒuˈɐ̃w̃ moˈtĩɲu; born 8 September 1986 in Portimão
, Algarve) is a Portuguese
footballer who plays for F.C. Porto, also being a Portuguese international
.
Mainly a central midfielder, he can also operate as a holding or attacking midfielder, and on either flank.
, when Moutinho turned 13 he signed with Sporting Clube de Portugal, to continue his football education.
During the 2004–05 pre-season, at only 17 years old, he was called by then-manager José Peseiro
onto the first squad, where he played some games, and began to display some talent for a such a young player. After that, however, he returned to the junior team, at the time coached by Paulo Bento
, with players such as Miguel Veloso
and Nani
. He helped the team win the national title that season, although he was also regularly training with the main squad.
In the beginning of 2005, Moutinho was called up for a game in the Portuguese Cup
, eventually playing 20 minutes against F.C. Pampilhosa
, and made his league debut on 23 January, staying in the entire 3–0 win at Gil Vicente FC, donning the #28 jersey previously worn by Cristiano Ronaldo
. Based on extremely consistent displays, he wasted no time in establishing himself as a regular as he quickly grew into a polished performer, able to play in any position across a flat midfield or in a diamond formation. His box-to-box dynamism and tremendous determination quickly made him a firm fan favourite, as he rarely missed a game since becoming a first-choice player.
Moutinho's performances in the closing stages of the campaign, especially in the UEFA Cup with Man of the Match
displays against Feyenoord and Newcastle United
that helped the Lions reach the final
of the competition, made him an automatic starter for Sporting despite his young age; he contributed with 15 league matches, as Sporting finished second. During the summer, he penned a one-year extension with the club.
In his first full season, Moutinho's further progress and exceptional consistency (he was the only player to play every minute of every match in the domestic league) was one of the brightest spots in Sporting's runner-up final place. Incidentally, he netted his team's final goal of the campaign, a 1–0 win over S.C. Braga to ensure a return to UEFA Champions League
football for the Lisbon
club.
In 2006–07, following the departure of veteran Ricardo Sá Pinto
, Moutinho was made vice-captain at just 19 years of age. The following season, after Custódio
and Ricardo
also left, he would be named captain, the second youngest in the history of the club's professional football, behind Sporting's first captain and associate founder, Francisco Stromp.
That season, with Leandro Romagnoli
(an attacking midfielder) also in the starting eleven, Moutinho, more often than not, moved from his natural "behind-the-forwards" midfield role to the right flank, where he still managed to deliver impressive performances. During this season, he further established himself as somewhat of a club symbol, earning plaudits as one of the league's top players, with impressive regular and quality performances.
In 2008–09, after an aborted deal with Premier League's Everton
, Moutinho was again ever present, only missing three league matches (almost 50 presences overall) as Sporting finished once again runner-up; he also had the dubious distinction of scoring his side's only goal in the Champions League round of 16 clash against FC Bayern Munich
, a 1–12 aggregate loss.
described Moutinho's conduct as deplorable: "If I had not experienced the situation, I would not believe it was possible to descend so low". Sporting awaited offers from other clubs but Moutinho forced the transfer to Porto: "We tried to get him to wait longer, so that there might be some offers from abroad, but Joao lost his temper and forced an exit to FC Porto, telling us that he had given his word to FC Porto". After this, he became a persona non grata
at the club, being called a rotten apple: "The deal was done because Sporting wanted it, because it did not want a rotten apple in its orchard, and it did not want someone who was not an example, nor dignified the flag of the club."
The transfer fee was priced at €
11 million, with €1 million being paid for 50% of the rights to central defender Nuno André Coelho
. Additionally, Sporting would receive 25% of any added value occurring during that time frame, provided it surpassed the previous value. Soon after, Porto sold 37.5% of the player's economic rights to a third party
, Mamers BV, for €4.125 million.
Moutinho was an ever-present figure for Porto in his first season. He appeared in 50 official games as the northerners
won the league and, even though he did not score in league competition, he netted twice in the the campaign
's Portuguese Cup
, most notably in a 3–1 away win against S.L. Benfica, with his team overcoming the 0–2 home loss in the first leg to reach the final
, in which the player also appeared, against Vitória de Guimarães (6–2); he added another 90 minutes in the Europa League final
, as the club won the treble.
On 3 August 2011, Porto partnered with Soccer Invest Fund
to buy back 37.5% of Moutinho's economic rights. The private investment fund acquired 15% after the overall transactions, while Porto recouped 22.5% for €4 million.
international at the age of 18, Moutinho made his debut with the national squad in a 2–0 home friendly win against Egypt. Ever since the 2006 FIFA World Cup
, he became a regular call-up.
On 31 May 2008, Moutinho registered his first goal for Portugal in their 2–0 friendly victory over Georgia
at Estádio do Fontelo in Viseu
. He was picked for the squad-of-23 for UEFA Euro 2008 and, in the opening game, assisted on a goal by Raul Meireles in a 2–0 victory against Turkey
.
He also played in two UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship
s, scoring against Germany
in the 2006 edition, played on home soil
, as the Portuguese exited in the group stage on both occasions.
Although not part of the provisional 24-player list for the 2010 World Cup
in South Africa
, Moutinho was named in a backup list of six players.
