Júlio Manuel Pires Coelho (born 18 July 1984) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for C.F. Os Belenenses in the Portuguese second division, as a goalkeeper.

Football career

Born in Paços de Ferreira, Coelho spent the vast majority of his career with hometown club. After playing through the youth ranks (alongside for instance Tiago Valente), he made the first team squad in 2003.

After two years and only one first division appearance, Coelho was loaned to lowly S.L. Nelas. After some good performances, he was recalled by Paços, but again only serving as a backup, consecutively to Pedro (another youth product born in the city) and Brazilian Peterson Peçanha.
