Diogo Filipe Monteiro Pinto Leite (born 23 January 1999) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for S.C. Braga on loan from FC Porto.
Club career[]
Born in Porto, Leite joined FC Porto's youth academy at the age of 9.[3] He made his professional debut with the reserve team on 27 August 2017, playing the entire 1–0 home win against C.D. Santa Clara for the LigaPro.[4]
In late July 2018, due to several injuries to the back sector,[5] first-team manager Sérgio Conceição called Leite for the upcoming Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira match against C.D. Aves;[6] he partnered Felipe in that match, a 3–1 victory in Aveiro.[7] Shortly before that event, he had renewed his contract until 2023.[3]
Leite's maiden appearance in the Primeira Liga took place on 11 August 2018 in the season opener, and he again played the entire 5–0 home defeat of G.D. Chaves.[8] He scored his first goal in the competition the following weekend, helping to a 3–2 victory at Belenenses SAD;[9] shortly after, however, he returned to the reserves.[10]
On 31 August 2021, Leite was loaned to S.C. Braga for one year.[11]
International career[]
Leite won his first cap for Portugal at under-21 level at the age of only 19, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 3–2 friendly win over Italy.[12] He was later used as a starter by coach Rui Jorge in both legs of the 2019 UEFA European Championship play-offs, lost to Poland 3–1 on aggregate.[13][14]
