Tiago Alexandre Baptista Ferreira, known as simply Tiago (born 16 April 1975), is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Football career
Born in Torres Vedras, Lisbon, Tiago played almost all of his career in Sporting Clube de Portugal. There, he successfully battled for first-choice status with Belgian international Filip de Wilde (1996–98), being loaned to C.F. Estrela da Amadora for two years during Peter Schmeichel's stint at the club. In the 2001–02 season, after the Dane returned to England, he played in 18 league matches as the Lions won the national championship, his second-best output at the club.
In the following years, more of the same: from 2003 onwards, Tiago played second-fiddle to Ricardo. When the latter moved for Real Betis he backed up youth product Rui Patrício, and remained second or third-choice until his retirement in June 2012 at the age of 37.[1]
