Pedro Pacheco

Pedro Miguel Salgadinho Pacheco de Melo (born 27 June 1984), known as Pacheco, is a professional footballer who plays for CU Micaelense as a defensive midfielder.

He played 312 games in the Segunda Liga over 11 seasons, mainly at the service of Santa Clara (19 goals). In the Primeira Liga, he appeared for that club as well as Nacional.

Born in Portugal, Pacheco was a Canadian international, earning 18 caps in four years.

Club Career

Born in Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel Island, Azores to Portuguese parents, Pacheco began his senior career in the regional leagues, playing with Vitoria Pico da Pedra. In the following year he moved to arguably the biggest club in the territory, C.D. Santa Clara, but appeared in only two Segunda Liga matches in the 2003–04 campaign.

After three seasons in the third division with two sides from his native region (S.C. Lusitania and CD Operario), Pacheco returned to Santa Clara who still competed in the second tier, and began featuring regularly for the first team, starting a total of 26 games over the course of two seasons.

In the last minute of the 2009 August transfer window, Pacheco moved to the island of Madeira, signing with C.D. Nacional. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 5 October, playing one minute in the 2–0 home win against Vitoria de Guimaraes, but could only make eight competitive appearances in his first year (two in the Taca da Liga and one in the UEFA Europa League – 15 minutes of the 5–1 home victory over FK Austria Wien in the group stage).

Pacheco returned to Santa Clara in the summer of 2010, being immediately appointed captain by manager Bruno Moura. In early June 2013, after finishing the division two campaign with four goals in 37 games, he signed a contract extension with the club.
