Pedro Miguel Ferreira de Oliveira (born 30 November 1981 in Porto) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for A.C. Pisa 1909 in Italy, as a midfielder.

Football career

After more than one decade in the youth ranks of Boavista FC, in his hometown of Porto, Oliveira moved still in his teens to neighbours F.C. Porto, where he was highly unsuccessful, going on to serve loans for the following two 1/2 years, starting at Académica de Coimbra in January 2003. In 2005–06, he joined, in a permanent deal, Vitória de Setúbal, where he had played the previous year on loan.

In the 2006 summer Oliveira, alongside a handful of other Portuguese players, left for Romania's CFR Cluj. In his first season, he was an important first-team member as it finished third in Liga I and qualified for the UEFA Cup, but was deemed surplus to requirements in the following campaign, being loaned to fellow first divisioner FCM UTA Arad.

Oliveira moved countries again in 2008–09, joining Modena F.C. in Italy;[1] the following summer, also in the country, he signed with modest A.C. Arezzo (third level), on a free transfer.[2]
