Club career

Coimbra was born in Santa Comba Dão, Viseu District. A product of S.L. Benfica's youth system, he appeared in 13 Primeira Liga games with the first team over the course of two seasons, after which he was loaned to Madeira's C.D. Nacional also of the top division for the 2007–08 campaign.[2]

In July 2008, Coimbra was definitely sold by Benfica, joining C.S. Marítimo.[3] Upon arriving, he was immediately loaned to Segunda Liga club Gil Vicente F.C. in a season-long move.[4]

After this, Coimbra returned to Marítimo but was immediately released, moving to another side in division two, G.D. Estoril Praia.[5] He contributed 26 matches (all starts) and two goals in 2011–12,[6][7] as his team returned to the top tier after an absence of seven years.[8]

Coimbra represented in quick succession Académico de Viseu F.C. and FC Rapid București after leaving Estoril in 2014, the latter from Romania. On 3 August 2015, he signed for Indian Super League franchise Kerala Blasters FC.[9]

In the summer of 2016, Coimbra returned to Portugal, on a one-year deal with U.D. Leiria.[10]

Personal life

Coimbra studied medicine at the University of Lisbon.[11]
