Pedro Manuel da Mota Pinto

Pedro Manuel da Mota Pinto joined Feirense on a free transfer in the summer of 2026. Born in Vila Nova de Gaia, he came up through the youth ranks of Pedroso, Oliveira do Douro and Leixões before making his senior debut for Leixões in 2013, where he went on to make 91 appearances at centre-back. A move to Vitória de Setúbal followed in 2016, before he returned to Leixões in 2019 for a further 41 matches.

The most productive stretch of his career came in Angola. Pedro Pinto signed for Atlético Petróleos de Luanda in September 2021 and stayed with the club across two spells, making 102 appearances and scoring six goals — including strikes in the CAF Champions League group stage and qualifying rounds in 2022. Between those two spells in Luanda, he spent a season in Azerbaijan with Sumgayit FK, making 17 appearances.

He returned to Petro Atlético in February 2026 for a brief run of five appearances before his switch to Feirense, where he has signed a contract running until 2028. A right-footed defender who stands 187 cm tall, he has not been capped by Portugal at senior or youth level, and his career has so far been built on steady service across multiple leagues rather than on individual honours or titles.
