On 15 June 2020, Monteiro signed his first professional contract with Servette.[1] He made his professional debut for Servette on 6 March 2021 in the Swiss Super League.[2] At 16 years old, one month and nine days, Monteiro is the third youngest footballer to debut with Swiss Super League, and the youngest defender to do so.[3] With the national team, Diogo has more than 30 caps (U15, U16, U17 and U18). He has been the captain of the 2005 generation so far and he was a crucial player in the great campaign this generation had on the Euro championship in 2022, in Israel. Portugal reached the semi-finals and Diogo was the only portuguese player to have played every minute of the tournament.
