Domingos José Paciência Oliveira, known simply asDomingos as a player (Portuguese pronunciation:[duˈmĩɡuʃ]; born 2 January 1969), is a Portuguese formerfootballer who played as astriker, currently amanager.
He achieved success with bothPorto and thePortugal national team, appearing in 380 official matches with the former over 12 seasons (nearly 150 goals) and representing the latter atEuro 1996.
After completing his accreditation in 2005, Domingos resumed his career as a manager, notably helpingBraga reach the2011 Europa League final.
AFC Porto trainee since he was 13,[1] Domingos was born inLeça da Palmeira,Matosinhos, and proved to be an above-average scorer despite being physically weak.Tomislav Ivić eventually decided he should be the replacement for an ageingFernando Gomes, and made his debut with the first team at age 19, being crowned top scorer in thePrimeira Liga in the1995–96 season.[2] Previously, in1990–91, he was involved in a last-matchday battle for theBola de Prata award withS.L. Benfica'sRui Águas, with Águas' team having won the championship the game before: Domingos played first, putting four pastVitória de Guimarães in a 5–0 home win, going from 20 to 24 goals. Águas appeared hours later againstS.C. Beira-Mar, and scored two second-half goals in an eventual 3–0 victory, finishing with 25.[3]
For1997–98, Domingos moved to theCanary Islands'CD Tenerife,[4] one year after Porto signed prolific strikerMário Jardel. There, he teamed up withRoy Makaay, but never fully adapted toLa Liga, netting only once in hisfinal season – which ended in relegation[5]– in a 1–2 home loss toDeportivo Alavés.[6]
Domingos eventually returned to Porto two years later, who outbidSporting CP at the eleventh hour. While cherished by the crowd, he did not impose himself as in the past, and retired at the end of the2000–01 campaign. He won seven league titles, fivecups and foursupercups.[7]
WithPortugal, Domingos scored nine goals in 34 appearances,[8] including one againstCroatia atUEFA Euro 1996 as the national team reached the quarter-finals.[9][10]
After his retirement, Paciência was assigned to coach Porto's youth teams, and laterthe reserves. After completing his level three managing course, he was hired as manager ofU.D. Leiria for2006–07. He also opened a football school inMatosinhos, with his former Porto teammateRui Barros.
Despite a good work overall, leading the team to a seventh-place finish in the top flight, Paciência left the club before the end of the season after having fallen out with its president and playerAdriano Rossato.[11]The following campaign, he took the reins of fellow top-tierAcadémica de Coimbra afterManuel Machado resigned.
In his first two years in charge of theStudents, Paciência led them to two consecutive league wins at Benfica (3–0, 1–0).[12][13] In hissecond season, he achieved a seventh place, the best in24 years.
In June 2009, Paciência resigned after receiving an offer fromS.C. Braga which had just lost managerJorge Jesus to Benfica. In hisdebut campaign, despite a bad start which included being knocked out of theUEFA Europa League in the third qualifying round byIF Elfsborg,[14] he guided theMinho side as they led the league for several months and eventually secured the second position – a best ever, behind Benfica – and subsequentqualification for theUEFA Champions League;[15] the team became only the fifth in the country to reach the competition's group stage, after oustingCeltic (4–2 on aggregate) andSevilla FC (5–3) in the qualifying rounds.[16]
After a bad start to boththe domestic and the Champions League campaigns, Braga slowly recovered their form, finishing fourth in the former and third in the latter, thusqualifying for the Europa League where Paciência led them tothe final after disposing ofLech Poznań,Liverpool,FC Dynamo Kyiv and Benfica; as he had announced in May 2011, he left his post after the game against Porto.[17]
On 23 May 2011, Paciência was namedJosé Couceiro's successor at Sporting.[18] His move toLisbon was largely expected following the election of Luís Godinho Lopes as club president.[19]
In thefirst season, Paciência qualified theLions fortheir first Portuguese Cup final in four years. On 13 February 2012, however, as the team ranked fourth in the league, 16 points behind leaders Benfica, he was fired following a 2–0 away loss againstC.S. Marítimo.[20][21][22]
On 30 December 2012, Paciência signed a contract with Spanish top division clubDeportivo de La Coruña, as theGalicians struggled at the bottom of the table.[23] In his first game in charge his team beatMálaga CF 1–0 at home, marking their first win in over two months.[24]
Paciência resigned on 10 February 2013, after not being able to improve from the 20th and last position in the charts.[25]
On 17 January 2014, Paciência was named as the new manager ofKayserispor, succeedingRobert Prosinečki.[26] His debut occurred nine days later, in a 3–0Süper Lig loss atSivasspor.[27]
After a poor run of results, which saw the club record only one win in seven matches, Paciência was sacked on 17 March 2014.[28]
On 22 May 2014, Paciência returned to Portugal to take overVitória F.C. as a replacement for Couceiro.[29] He was relieved of his duties on 19 January of the following year.[30]
On 21 May 2015, Paciência agreed terms with reigningCypriot championsAPOEL FC, replacingThorsten Fink who was fired on 11 May at the conclusion ofthe season.[31] After only three months in charge, his contract was terminated following failure toreach the group stage of theUEFA Champions League after being eliminated byFC Astana, as well as defeat in theCypriot Super Cup toAEL Limassol.[32]
Paciência was appointed atC.F. Os Belenenses on 20 April 2017, signing until June 2018[33] and eventually leading the side to14th place in the top flight. In January of that year, however, he left by mutual agreement and replaced by former club playerSilas.[34][35]
Paciência's son,Gonçalo, is also a footballer and a forward. He too was developed by Porto.[36][37]
